Three years old boy presented with recurrent severe abdominal pain. He was treated for constipation and the pain resolved. Later he developed a limitation of neck movements. Investigations revealed a spinal cord mass. After surgical resection, histopathology confirmed pilocytic astrocytoma.

Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is an atypical subtype of pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), which presents in children and young adults. The incidence of PMA is low, so there is no standardized treatment protocol for it. Here, we present a 62-year-old woman with recurrent PMA, which is important for the understanding and treatment of the disease.
