Abstract

We report the case of uncommon rare tumour of the fourth ventricle in young person. This diagnosis is included to WHO classification only in 2007. Tumour was identified by the MR imaging, later on surgically removed with post-operative MRI control scan. Diagnosis-rosette-forming tumour of the fourth ventricle- was confirmed both morphologically and immunohistochemically.
