Oligoastrocytoma, NOS is an uncommon neuropathology tumour that is no longer a distinct entity.[1]

General

  • Mixed tumour by definition.
  • After IDH-1/2 mutation screening and LOH 1p/19q analysis almost all tumors are either classified as oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma.[1]
  • The NOS category is reserved for cases without genetic testing.[2]

Two types exist:

  • Oligoastrocytoma, NOS (Grade II WHO; ICD-O: 9382/3)
  • Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma, NOS (Grade III WHO; ICD-O: 9382/3)


Microscopic

Features:

  • Astrocytoma-like and oligodendroglioma-like:
    1. Oligodendroglioma-like cells = round nucleus, peri-nuclear clearing.
    2. Astrocytoma-like cells = non-ovoid/elongated nucleus.

DDx:

IHC

  • Oligodendroglioma-like cells: MAP2 +ve (cytoplasm).
  • Astrocytoma-like cells: GFAP +ve (cytoplasm, nuclear membrane).

Others:

  • Ki-67 3-10%.
  • ATRX loss (in cases without LOH1p/19q).
  • IDH-1 +ve. (85%).
