Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour (DNET): a Rare Brain Pathology Presenting with Intractable Seizures.
Pak J Neuro Surg Jan ;18(2):139-44.

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (DNET) is a benign glioneuronal tumour often related with intractable localization – related seizures in both in paediatric age group as well as young adults. However, a small number appear to have the potential for malignant transformation. Total surgical removal without any adjuvant therapy is the gold standard treatment. We report a case in which DNET appeared in a 13 year old male. Cranial CT scan showed a discoid lesion with peripheral enhancement in right parietal lobe. Micro-decompression of the tumour was done. On histopathology, the tumour revealed features of WHO grade I dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour.
