Rare adult spinal cases have been treated with radiotherapy. This report describes the case of a gliofibroma occurring in a young adult 10 years after treatment for a childhood pilocytic astrocytoma. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Case:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A 14-year-old female underwent complete resection of a right lateral ventricle pilocytic astrocytoma confirmed on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At the age of 17, the tumour recurred, and a second complete resection was performed. Due to the early recurrence, she was placed on long-term MRI surveillance. At the age of 23, an enhancing left midbrain tumour was identified that was suspected to be a recurrent pilocytic astrocytoma. Following surgical resection the histopathology revealed a gliofibroma. Due to the growth of further tumour nodules she was treated with fractionated radiotherapy. There is no disease recurrence after 36 months of follow-up, and the patient remains well. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Discussion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Gliofibromas are tumours which usually occur in childhood; this case report identifies a rare occurrence in an adult. The childhood intraventricular pilocytic astrocytoma was in an anatomically distinct location to the midbrain gliofibroma. Radiotherapy can control these tumours, and follow-up is required to understand the long-term outcome and prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000455920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,1]],"date-time":"2017-03-01T00:16:03Z","timestamp":1488327363000},"page":"151-154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Midbrain Gliofibroma Presenting in Adulthood following \u201cCure\u201d of a Childhood Intraventricular Pilocytic Astrocytoma"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Mohammad U.","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atik","family":"Barborie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barry","family":"Pizer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Husband","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Conor","family":"Mallucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael D.","family":"Jenkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,1]]},"container-title":["Pediatric Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/455920","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/455920","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/455920","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:11:42Z","timestamp":1745428302000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000455920"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000455920","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1016-2291","1423-0305"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1016-2291"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0305"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
