Abstract

Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor is a rare central nervous system tumor with imaging findings including leptomeningeal enhancement and nodular/cystic lesions. This case highlights how patients can have differing imaging features, requiring whole‐genome DNA methylation profiling for diagnosis, and demonstrates successful treatment after initial descriptive diagnosis of pilocytic astrocytoma with anaplasia.
