Abstract
We report a case of central neurocytoma treated, after an initial part ial resection, by chemotherapy, comprising etoposide, ifosfamide and c arboplatin. A response was obtained and further treatment was given wi th surgery and radiotherapy. There have been no previous reports of re sponse to chemotherapy in this relatively rare tumour.
