In this case report, we characterize an instance of diagnosis, treatment, characteristics, and outcomes of a patient with a liponeurocytoma, a rare WHO grade II brain tumor first described in 1978. This tumor has been described with a wide array of radiographic, microscopic, and histologic features, and there remains no consensus regarding the role of radiation therapy. Most patients have favorable outcomes after surgical resection. Here we present the case of a 46-year-old female who underwent suboccipital craniectomy for resection of a cerebellar mass, which was diagnosed as liponeurocytoma on final pathology. The patient experienced resolution of symptoms and is neurologically intact two years after resection of the tumor.
