Rare-51. pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma of the cerebellum in a patient with neurofibromatosis type i: a case report and literature review

CONCLUSION:To the best of our knowledge, there are 18 prior reported cases in the literature of infratentorial PXA and 4 reports of such cases occurring in individuals with NF1. These lesions present similarly to dysplastic tumor types, and should be considered as a rare etiology of NF1 associated cerebellar masses.
