Abstract
A case is described of a subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma that occurred as a mural nodule within a cyst in the parietal lobe. The tumor recurred twice over a period of 47 years despite two extensive surgical resections. Neither the patient nor any of his children suffered tuberous sclerosis, a disease with which this type of astrocytoma is associated.Entities:
