Ganglioglioma with glioblastoma component.

چکیده
Ganglioglioma with a glioblastomatous component and high-grade atypia of neuronal cells are extremely rare findings. In this paper, we report the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a tumor of the left temporal lobe. Hematoxylin-Eosin stained slides revealed a complex tumor with features of glioblastoma and marked atypia of neuronal cells. Glial cells were highlightened by antibodies to GFAP and neuronal cells by chromogranin and synaptophysin markers. There was an accumulation of p53-positive cells. There was a high Ki-67 labelling index (19%).

Primary anaplastic ganglioglioma with a small-cell glioblastoma component.
Gangliogliomas usually present as benign tumors corresponding to World Health Organization (WHO) Grade I. Very rarely, gangliogliomas show histological features of malignancy and are then classified as anaplastic gangliogliomas of WHO Grade III or IV. In most cases, anaplastic gangliogliomas developed after radiation therapy or progression from a pre-existing low-grade ganglioglioma. Here, we r...
متن کاملGanglioglioma with anaplastic transformation.
A nine year-old male had refractory seizures for four years. Diagnostic imaging (Fig 1A and B) demonstrated a cortico-subcortical focal lesion at the isthmus of the right cingulate gyrus. Biopsy yielded diagnosis of ganglioglioma (Fig 2A). Reoperation one year later showed similar features, but included atypical and multinucleated cells (Fig 2B). At the age of 13, the patient had symptom recurr...
متن کاملBrain Stem Gliomas in Childhood
Brain stem tumors are perhaps the most dreaded cancers in pediatric oncology, owing to their historically poor prognosis, yet they remain an area of intense research. Brain stem tumors account for about 10 to 15% of childhood brain tumors. Peak incidence for these tumors occurs around age 6 to 9 years. The term brain stem glioma is often used interchangeably with brain stem tumor. More precisel...
متن کاملAdult classical glioblastoma with a BRAF V600E mutation
The B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (B-Raf) is a member of the Raf kinase family. The BRAF V600E mutation occurs frequently in certain brain tumors such as pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, ganglioglioma, and pilocytic astrocytoma, and less frequently in epithelioid and giant cell glioblastoma. BRAF V600E mutation in these cases has been canonically detected using Sanger sequencing or...
متن کاملSurgical approaches to tumors and epileptogenic zones close to Wernicke's area.
Surgical procedures near to language related brain regions may cause severe morbidity in relation to speech. Operations performed under local anesthesia and intraoperative cortical mapping may minimize these risks. Six patients with tumors near the Wernicke's area were treated (2 low-grade astrocytomas, 1 ganglioglioma, 1 xanthoastrocytoma, 1 metastasis, 1 glioblastoma). Their clinical presenta...
