Long-term epilepsy associated tumors, abbreviated LEAT is an umbrella term for rare tumor entities in patients that do not match current WHO diagnostic criteria.

General

  • Closely associated with Ganglioglioma and DNT.
  • Poor interobserver agreement. [1]
  • Some entities can be molecularly defined.[2] - but some not.

Examples

  • Papillary glioneuronal tumor [3]
  • Angiocentric glioma [4]
  • Isomorphic diffuse glioma [5]
  • Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor of the cerebrum [6]
  • Polymorphous low grade tumor of the young [7]


Criteria

See [8]

  • Seizures <18 years.
  • Temporal lobe location.
  • Mostly benign appearance (as in WHO grade I).
