摘      要：Cerebellar liponeurocytoma (CL) described under many different names, is a rare WHO grade I or II well differentiated neurocytic tumor of the cerebellum with focal lipomatous differentiation. Mainly reported in adulthood, it is fought to be a posterior fossa benign tumor. In this paper, we talk about a 64-year-old woman, following up for Parkinson’s disease presented in our department for 7 months’ history of headache and gait disturbance. MRI showed a right cerebellopontine angle (CPA) heterogeneous unlimited tumor mimicking an epidermoid cyst. She underwent a lateral suboccipital craniectomy procedure that permitted obtaining the whole gross total resection of this tumor. The histopathological diagnosis was a cerebellar liponeurocytoma. She was discharged from hospital the 8th day after surgery and was free of symptoms since 5 years.
