Astroblastoma is a rare tumor belonging to the family of primary glial neoplasms.
They are classified as neuroepithelial tumors; however, the World Health Organization
grading is still not established. We report the case of a 4-year-old child who presented
with an intra-axial space occupying lesion which turned out to be an astroblastoma.
A complete excision was done and there was no recurrence at 20 months follow-up. This
case report highlights the presence of such unusual tumor with invasion to the calvarium
and reviews the current literature.
Key-words:
Astroblastoma - bone erosion - neuroepithelial tumor
