Oligodendromas

on 19.1.09 with 0 comments



  • 5-10% of gliomas

  • Mostly in cerebral hemisphere white matter, more well-circumscribed than astrocytomas

  • Sheets of monotonous cells with a clear halo of cytoplasm around the nuclei (fried eggs)

  • Fine capillary network seen, frequent calcifications

  • Treated with surgery, but respond well to chemo
