Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (DNT, DNET) is a type of brain tumor. Most commonly found in the temporal lobe, DNTs have been classified as benign tumours.[1] These are glioneuronal tumours comprising both glial and neuron cells and often have ties to focal cortical dysplasia.[2]
Varying subclasses of DNTs have been presently identified, with dispute existing in the field on how to properly group these classes.[3] The identification of possible genetic markers to these tumours is currently underway.[4] With DNTs often causing epileptic seizures, surgical removal is a common treatment, providing high rates of success.[4]
