Excerpt

Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY) is a recently described pathological entity featured by a specific histological, immunohistochemical and molecular profile combining an oligodendroglial-like component, a diffuse CD34 expression, and an alteration of the MAP-kinase signalling pathway. That entity was so far rarely described. We would like to report an additional case. …
