ABSTRACT
Subependymoma is a slow-growing, exophytic, intraventricular glial neoplasm that commonly arises in the ventricular system. However, a report found that the frequency of intracerebral subependymoma was 0.4% in 1000 routine autopsies. To the best of our knowledge, only seven cases of intracerebral subependymoma have been reported. We report a rare case of intracerebral subependymoma in a child. An 11-year-old girl with generalized tonic-clonic seizures visited the emergency room and had an intraparenchymal tumor on the left frontal lobe on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Craniotomy with gross total removal was performed without any perioperative morbidities. The tumor was finally histopathologically diagnosed as a subependymoma.
