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 ]
Oligodendroglioma; Micrograph of an oligodendroglioma showing the characteristic branching, small, chicken wire-like blood vessels and fried egg-like cells, with clear cytoplasm and well-defined cell borders. H&E stain. Specialty: Neuro-oncology, neurosurgery: Usual onset: Between ages 35 and 44 [1] Prognosis: Five-year survival rate: 74.1% [1 ...
MRI of a patient with anaplastic astrocytoma. The WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system is a World Health Organization Blue Book that defines, describes and classifies tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). Currently, as of 2023, clinicians are using the 5th edition, which incorporates recent advances in molecular ...
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]

Oligoastrocytomas are a subset of brain tumors that present with an appearance of mixed glial cell origin, astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma. [1] However, the term "Oligoastrocytoma" is now considered obsolete by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network [2] stating "the term should no longer be used as such morphologically ambiguous tumors can be reliably resolved into astrocytomas and ...
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. [3]
One study reported that low-grade oligodendroglioma patients have a median survival of 11.6 years; [83] another reported a median survival of 16.7 years. [84] Unfortunately, approximately 70% of low-grade (WHO grade-II) will progress to high-grade tumours within 5–10 years [ 49 ] Grade II gliomas, despite often being labeled as benign, are ...
