Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, abbreviated SEGA, is a low-grade astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.
General
- Associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).[1]
- WHO Grade I.
Gross/radiology
- Well-demarcated.
- Often projecting into a ventricle.
SEGA in Tuberous sclerosis. (WC/AFIP)
SEGA. (WC/AFIP)
Microscopic
- Giant cells with nuclear atypia ("bizarre cells").
- Glassy eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Abundant mast cells.[4]
