Area of Science:

Neuro-oncology
Neuropathology

Background:

Primary reticulum cell sarcoma-microgliomas (PRSM) are rare central nervous system tumors.
Brain stem involvement is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

This report details an unusual case of PRSM originating in the brain stem.
The predominant clinical feature was profound episodic dementia.

Findings:

The case illustrates a rare presentation of brain stem PRSM.
Episodic dementia can be a primary manifestation of this rare tumor.

Implications:

This case expands the known clinical spectrum of brain stem PRSM.
Highlights the importance of considering rare brain tumors in the differential diagnosis of dementia.
