Abstract
A benign recurrence of a cerebellar juvenile astrocytoma was found in a 52-year-old woman 36 years after the initial radical removal, which was performed when she was 16 years of age. To our knowledge, this is the third detailed case report of the late benign recurrence of cerebellar astrocytoma after total removal. The problem of recurrence of cerebellar astrocytoma is reviewed.Keywords
