Abstract

Intracranial fibrous xanthomas are extremely rare. Only 10 cases have so far been reported. A fourth ventricular tumor in an elderly female, identified histopathologically as a myxofibroxanthoma, is described here. After total excision of the tumor, she recovered uneventfully. The histological features and diagnosis of intracranial fibrous xanthomas are discussed.
