Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor: A rare case report

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) is a rare benign tumor generally seen in children and adolescents with intractable epilepsy. This tumor demonstrates typical histological features such as glial nodules and the so called glioneuronal element. The diagnosis of DNET cannot rely just upon imaging features but needs a multidisciplinary contribution from the clinical and diagnostic department involving the clinician, radiologist as well as the pathologist to reach a definite and conclusive diagnosis. However histopathology is the gold standard for the final diagnosis.
