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.
