ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of an adult, with no previous history of seizures, found to have a large intraventricular Anaplastic Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma (APXA). To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second documented report of an APXA located within the ventricular system in an adult. The tumor was characterized by anaplastic features and necrosis without an elevated mitotic index, and it recurred shortly after a gross total surgical resection.
