Neurocytomas are WHO grade 2 primary CNS neoplasms that derive from neural cells. There are two main types:
-
intraventricular neurocytoma
- much more common
- called a central neurocytoma when located centrally within the lateral ventricles
- extraventricular neurocytoma 1
Both types tend to have similar biological behavior and have similar demographics 1.
