UNASSIGNED: @entity11 ( @entity11 ) are exceedingly rare @entity1893 which often present in the form of intractable @entity302 within younger @entity1 . The current study extensively reviews all reported cases which were pathologically verified as @entity11 in the literature to analyze clinical attributes and surgical outcomes of this @entity5 . There were 88 @entity1 with @entity11 reported in the literature consisting mostly of pediatric cases. The sex distribution consisted of 45 males and 36 females with the remaining seven cases not documenting sex. The average age of initial diagnosis was 16years with almost half of all diagnosed @entity1 being within the first decade of life. In cases where extent of resection was reported, gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in 54 @entity1 , subtotal resection (STR) in 16, and biopsy only in three. @entity532 were transient and only occurred in three @entity1 with no reports of @entity204 following surgery. Only five cases reported @entity5 recurrence on follow-up. Eight @entity1 had @entity410 recurrence post-operatively and GTR offered improved rates of @entity410 control when compared to STR (p=0.0005). Nearly half of the cases of @entity11 are diagnosed within the first decade of life and they usually manifest with intractable @entity410 . GTR appears to offer better @entity410 control in the post-operative period. Surgical resection is the mainstay therapy for @entity11 as post-operative complications and @entity5 recurrence remain uncommon. Since the number of reported cases is limited, future studies with longer follow-up periods will help elaborate more long-term outcomes.
