ABSTRACT
We report a new and rare entity of childhood brain tumor, desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma of infancy. This neoplasm arises in the superficial cerebral cortex of infant under two-years of age. The tumor is voluminous size, partially cystic. It composes of astrocytes with massive desmoplasis, mimicking mesenchymal tumor. Despite their large size, the prognosis following successful surgical resection is quite favorable. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in Thailand.
