Cerebellar liponeurocytoma or lipomatous medulloblastoma is a rare oncological entity. Knowledge regarding the management and outcomes of these rare tumors are still evolving. Very few cases have been described previously in the literature. The authors report a case of a middle-aged woman operated on twice, 8 years apart, with uneventful postoperative follow-ups. Radiological characteristics were revealed atypically on the computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Histopathological study supported a cerebellar liponeurocytoma with classic immunohistochemical features. Through this report, the authors aim to describe atypical radiological and histopathological features of this rare entity with good outcome by going through a comprehensive review of the existing literature.
