Background: Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a rare, benign, and slow-growing tumor. First described in 2005, it is now gaining attention with respect to the possibility of being diagnosed. Even with no statistical differences between sex, it has been reported both in children and the elderly. A total of 120 cases have been described in the literature. The aim of this study is to provide new data for a new statistical assessment of the prevalence and incidence of AG in populations. Case report: An 8-year-old male patient with no history of epilepsy and no need for antiepileptic therapy underwent surgery for a left-parietal brain lesion, revealed through MRI. Imaging was acquired after his first absence episode. The lesion was completely resected. Histological findings indicated angiocentric glioma. No signs of recurrency after two years of follow-up. Conclusion: AG is usually an epilepsy-related low-grade glioma. Few cases exhibit disease progression and exitus. Surgical management should aim for a gross total resection to avoid recurrence and persisting epilepsy. Surgery represents the gold standard in diagnosis and treatment and must be performed as soon as possible in consideration of its healing properties and its useful diagnosis. Full article
