It is well known that the universal enveloping algebra U(o2n) of the orthogonal Lie algebra o2n of size even has a central element given explicitly in terms of Pfaffian of a certain matrix which is alternating along the anti-diagonal (we call such a matrix "anti-alternating" for short) whose entries are in U(o2n). In this paper, we establish a minor summation formula of Pfaffian of the noncommutative anti-alternating matrix, as well as of commutative anti-alternating matrix. As an application, we show that the eigenvalues of the Pfaffian-type central element on the highest weight representations of o2n can be easily computed.
