Their differentiation from high-grade fibromyxoid tumors, as seen in adults, is imperative to diagnosis. Awareness of the entity and its subsequent behavior may guide management and predict outcomes. Case Description: We describe the case of a previously unreported low-grade fibromyxoid tumor of the cerebellum in an 8-year-old male. Extensive immunohistochemical, next-generation sequencing, and attempted DNA methylation profiling are reported. There has been no recurrence during the 6-year follow-up. Screening excluded multiple myxoid tumors, including low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. The findings suggest that, with gross total resection, the lesions may not recur. Conclusion: The case of fibromyxoid tumor with 6-year follow-up and the limited literature of similar tumors are reviewed.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/229480b0-f81c-4a9b-bd86-35e7a9f8d45d/featured/hero-1781559795627.png","publishDate":"2024-01-19T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_830_2023","categories":["Neuropathology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/12716/SNI-15-14.pdf"}
