Astroblastoma is a rare primary brain neoplasm with uncertain histopathological origin
and unpredictable clinical behavior. WHO classified it as neuroepithelial tumor. However,
grading for this variant of the tumor is not yet established. Complete excision without
any adjuvant radiotherapy is sufficient to treat low-grade astroblastoma. We present
a case of a 5-year-old female child presenting with seizures. Her magnetic resonance
imaging of the brain showed well-defined cortical-based intra-axial mass lesion in
the right frontal lobe. A gross total excision of the tumor was done. Histopathological
features were suggestive of astroblastoma.
