    Melanotic differentiation in dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor
    (CLINICAL NEUROPATHOLOGY, 2000)
    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) is an uncommon intracranial tumor which is usually encountered in patients with medically intractable complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. Melanotic differentiation in a DNT has not been reported previously Herewith we report a case of DNT with unique melanotic differentiation in a 23-year-old female who presented with medically intractable epilepsy. She underwent craniotomy and tumor decompression with a good outcome. We present the histopathological features of DNT with melanotic differentiation and discuss its prognostic significance.

    Mixed tumour of schwannoma and meningioma in a patient with neurofibromatosis-2: A case report
    (NEUROLOGY INDIA, 2001) Elizabeth, J; Menon, G; Nair, S; Radhakrishnan, VV
    The co-existence of schwannoma and meningioma as a mixed intracranial tumour is uncommon and so far only eight cases have been published in the literature. Because of rarity, we report a unique case of mixed tumour having schwann cell and meningeal components, in a patient with neurofibromatosis type -2 (NF-2). The possible mechanisms for the occurrence of these mixed tumours are discussed.
