Gangliogliomas: pathological and clinical correlation

Abstract

Fourteen cases of ganglioglioma are analyzed. This tumor can be found anywhere within the central nervous system. The histological appearance is highly variable and does not relate to the biological behavior. The prognosis depends on the location and possible modes of treatment. Overall, the lesion appears to be nonaggressive and consistent with long survival.

“…These tumors differ from the most common gliomas in that they contain both glial elements and differentiated nerve cells [3]. These relatively low-grade neoplasms generally behave in a benign fashion and have a favorable prognosis.…”
