Abstract
In 1976 a patient underwent partial resection of an intraventricular t umor that showed central neurocytoma. No other tumor pattern was obser ved. In 1994 this patient underwent a second operation for removal of the tumor, at which time foci of tumor were diagnosed as central neuro cytoma and ganglioglioma. This is the first reported case of different iation of central neurocytoma into ganglioglioma, a sequence of events termed differentiating central neurocytoma.
