Sumario:Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a distinct group of tumors, grade I according to the 2007 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system. It is a rare group predominantly seen in children and young adults, with good prognosis following gross total resection.

The lesion was surgically resected, and the child is now free of seizure medications, with good neurological function.
