Diffuse GFAP Immunopositivity in the Oligodendrocyte-like Component of Pilocytic Astrocytoma Distinguishes It from Mimickers

Pilocytic astrocytoma with a predominant oligodendrocyte-like component can be difficult to distinguish from oligodendroglioma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs), central neurocytoma, and ependymoma (clear cell phenotype). The utility of GFAP immunostaining in this context is not well d...
