The most recent 2016 WHO classification includes MVNT as a unique cytoarchitectural pattern of gangliocytoma, though it remains unclear whether MVNT is a true neoplastic process or a dysplastic hamartomatous/malformative lesion. The authors report 33 cases of presumed multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor of the cerebrum that exhibit a remarkably similar pattern of imaging findings consisting of a subcortical cluster of nodular lesions. They conclude that these are benign, nonaggressive lesions that do not require biopsy in asymptomatic patients and behave more like a malformative process than a true neoplasm.
