Chordoid Glioma of Third Ventricle: About an Extensive and Rapidly Progressive Presentation

Abstract

Chordoid glioma is a rare tumor of the Third Ventricle (V3), representing a very distinct clinico-pathological entity in the WHO classification of central nervous tumors, who classified it as grade II [1]. It has usually a slow growing. In this paper, we report the case of a rapidly progressive and lethal Chordoid Glioma (CG) in 48-year-old Moroccan a women. The rarity and the morphological similarities of this neoplasm with other suprasellar tumors constitute a challenge for the pathologist especially in extemporaneous condition, which complicates the diagnosis and the management.
