case_images: Computed tomography (CT) brain was showing a large irregular hyperdense lesion with calcification and perilesional edema in left parietal region with infiltration of left lateral ventricle with hydrocephalus [Figure 1a]. Postoperative CT scan showed gross total excision of tumor [Figure 1b].

case_images: T1 and hyperintense on T2-weighted image and strong heterogeneous enhancement with gadolinium. The lesion was infiltrating left lateral ventricle and left thalamic region with dilatation of opposite lateral ventricle with midline shift and perilesional edema [Figure 2].
case_images: (a) Hematoxylin and eosin staining showing papillary architecture with columnar cells having high nucleo cytoplasmic ratio with prominent nucleoli, fair numbers of mitosis, and areas of necrosis. (b) focally positive (dot like) glial fibrillary acidic protein. (c) focally positive cytokeratin
