Central neurocytoma, light micrograph. Central neurocytomas are considered to be WHO Grade II lesions with good prognosis. The peak incidence is between 3rd and 5th decades. They are usually intraventricular and most often arise in the lateral ventricles near the foramen of Monro. Symptoms are related to increased intracranial pressure. Central neurocytomas are composed of a uniform population of round cells with scant cytoplasm in a fibrillary background. The nuclei have finely speckled chromatin and punctate nucleoli. A delicate vascular network of capillaries is usually present. The tumour cells show evidence of neural differentiation. | |
