A rare, giant, anaplastic oligodendroglioma
Oligodendroglioma, the third most common glioma, accounts for 5% of primary brain tumors and around 20% of all glial neoplasms. They are quite uncommon in children. Here, we aimed to show an unusual case of a 9-year-old boy developing a huge anaplastic oligodendroglioma. A high-grade astrocytoma-lik...

| description | Oligodendroglioma, the third most common glioma, accounts for 5% of primary brain tumors and around 20% of all glial neoplasms. They are quite uncommon in children. Here, we aimed to show an unusual case of a 9-year-old boy developing a huge anaplastic oligodendroglioma. A high-grade astrocytoma-like supratentorial tumor was discovered by a sophisticated brain scan employing magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was identified by histopathology as an anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Anaplastic oligodendroglioma should be considered while making the differential diagnosis of high-grade astrocytoma notwithstanding its rarity. |
