Abstract

A four-year-old child with an enterogenous cyst located lateral to the brainstem is reported. The endodermal origin of the cyst was histologically and immunohistochemically established. The unusual localization of the cyst as well as its destructive biological behavior as a result of inflammation is discussed.
