Neurocytoma is a rare neuropathology tumour.
General
- Rare.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Pineocytomatous/neurocytic rosette = irregular rosette with a large meshwork of fibers (neuropil) at the centre.[2]
- Similar to Homer-Wright rosette.
- Monomorphic cells with round nuclei and speckled chromatin.
- Perinuclear clearing.
- Ganglion cell differentiation.
- Well-defined cell borders.
- Hyalinized vessels.
- Necrosis absent.
IHC
- MIB-1: Usu. low.
- Synapthophysin +ve.
DDx:
- Oligodendroglioma - do not have the characteristic rosettes.
- Ganglioglioma.
- Ependymoma.
- Pilocytic astrocytoma (with predominantly oligo-like cell component).
- Diffuse leptomeningeal gliomeuronal tumour.

IHC

Molecular
- FGFR1-TACC1 fusions common.[4]
