Ten cases of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma associated with sclerosis tuberosa were reevaluated in order to assess their phenotyping and biologic features. All tumours were multifocal, located within lateral ventricles, often overlying the head of the caudate nucleus or protruding into the third ventricle.
