A case of a rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor arising from the pons with disappearance of contrast enhancement

A rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) is a rare and slow-growing central nervous system tumor. This tumor is usually assessed by MRI during the follow-up period. RGNT can show alteration of contrast enhancement regardless of tumor growth. Here, we report a case of RGNT arising from pons which...

description A rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) is a rare and slow-growing central nervous system tumor. This tumor is usually assessed by MRI during the follow-up period. RGNT can show alteration of contrast enhancement regardless of tumor growth. Here, we report a case of RGNT arising from pons which shows partial enhancement on initial MRI, smaller enhancement on follow-up MRI at 10 months, and totally disappeared at 18 months without any therapy.
