Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour, MRI FLAIR.
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour, commonly abbreviated DNT or DNET, is a type of brain tumour.
It appears similar to oligodendroglioma, but with visible neurons.[1]
It falls into Grade I of the WHO classification of brain tumours and, generally, has a good prognosis.[2][3]

Treatment
Treatment of DNTs is usually surgical resection.[5]
