dc.description.abstractBackground Astroblastoma, an uncommon neuroepithelial tumor, typically presents in young adults as a well-circumscribed cortical or subcortical spherical mass. Astroblastoma may cause a diagnostic problem to anyone unfamiliar with its architectural and histological features. Case history We report the case of a 4-year-old boy who was referred for complaints of progressive deficits of balance and difficulty with walking during the previous 3 months. A large fronto-parietal cystic mass with solid mural nodule was discovered. Total removal of the tumor mass was performed, and a diagnosis of high grade (malignant) variant of astroblastoma was made. Postoperatively, the patient received radiation therapy, for a period of 11 weeks, followed by chemotherapy. He is in a good neurological recovery without any evidence of recurrence for 8 months. Prognosis The best treatment modality for astroblastoma is surgical resection if possible, whereas adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) can be considered in high-grade astroblastomas, with a close follow-up for all cases.en_US
