# Cerebellar anaplastic ganglioglioma in a septuagenarian

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of cerebellar anaplastic ganglioglioma in an elderly adult, a very uncommon tumor subtype.

## Contribution

The study presents the second documented case of cerebellar anaplastic ganglioglioma in an adult, adding to the limited existing literature.

## Key findings

- Anaplastic ganglioglioma is a rare tumor, predominantly found in children and adolescents.
- Posterior fossa anaplastic ganglioglioma in adults is exceptionally rare, with only three prior cases reported.
- This case represents the second reported instance of cerebellar anaplastic ganglioglioma in an adult.

## Abstract

Ganglioglioma is a rare neoplasm most common in children and adolescents. It is typically located in the supratentorial compartment, with the temporal lobe being the most common tumor location. Anaplastic ganglioglioma is a WHO grade III ganglioglioma, a rare subtype accounting for a small minority of ganglioglioma cases. Posterior fossa anaplastic ganglioglioma in an adult is incredibly rare; only 3 prior cases have been reported. Only 1 adult anaplastic ganglioglioma in the cerebellum has been reported. We present the second reported adult cerebellar anaplastic ganglioglioma.
