Oligodendroglioma arise mainly in the frontal lobe and in 50–80% of cases, the first symptom is the onset of seizure activity, without having any symptoms beforehand. [2] Headaches combined with increased intracranial pressure are also a common symptom of oligodendroglioma.
Anaplastic oligodendroglioma is a neuroepithelial tumor which is believed to originate from oligodendrocytes, a cell type of the glia. In the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of brain tumors, anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are classified as grade III. [ 2 ]
Glial tumor is a general term for numerous tumors of the central nervous system, including astrocytomas, ependymal tumors, Oligodendroglioma, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies tumors into different categories according to severity and recurrence. [1]
Micrograph of an oligodendroglioma, a type of brain cancer. Brain biopsy. H&E stain. Maximal safe surgical resection (to preserve as much neurological function as possible) and histologic examination of the tumor is also required to aid in the diagnosis. [24] Cancer cells may have specific characteristics.
1.5.4 Diffuse glioneuronal tumor with oligodendroglioma-like features and nuclear clusters 1.5.5 Papillary glioneuronal tumor 1.5.6 Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor 1.5.7 Myxoid glioneuronal tumor 1.5.8 Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor 1.5.9 Gangliocytoma 1.5.10 Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor
The main histomorphologic differential diagnosis is oligodendroglioma. While the tumor cells are dense in some areas, areas with anuclear, less dense tumor parts were dispersed throughout. The anuclear areas may have a fine fibrillary matrix, like that of neuropil regions. Long, thin-walled, capillary-sized vessels represent the vascularity of CNC.
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain or inside the skull, and can be cancerous or non-cancerous ().Just over half of all primary brain tumors are malignant; the rest are benign, though they may still be life-threatening.
Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor (DLGNT) is a rare, primary CNS tumor, classified as distinct entity in 2016 [1] and described as diffuse oligodendroglial-like leptomeningeal tumor of children in the 2016 classification of CNS neoplasms by the WHO., [2] Typically, it's considered juvenile tumors [3] but can occur in adults, [4] the average age of diagnosis is five years.
