Oligodendroglioma
Diagnosis in short

Oligodendroglioma. H&E stain.
LM highly cellular lesion composed of cells resembling fried eggs (oligodendrocytes) with a round nucleus (important), distinct cell borders, +/-clear cytoplasm - useful feature (if present), acutely branched capillary sized vessels ("chicken-wire" like appearance), calcifications
LM DDx neurocytoma, clear cell variant of ependymoma, seminoma / dysgerminoma / germinoma
Molecular +/-loss of 1p and 19q (common)
Site neuropathology tumours - cerebral hemispheres, posterior fossa (rare), spinal cord (very rare)
Radiology intra-axial mass, +/-calcifications (best seen on CT), nonenhancing or enhancing
Prognosis moderate - dependent on grade

Oligodendroglioma is CNS tumour that is typically in the cerebral hemispheres. Molecular analysis of IDH1/2 and LOH1p/19q testing is required for diagnosis.

General

  • Do not arise from oligodendrocytes, although tumor cells look very similiar.[1]
    • Arise from glial precursor cells.

Prognosis by flavours (average survival):[2]

  • WHO grade II: 10-15 years.
  • WHO grade III: 3-5 years.

Oligodendrogliomas account for approx 5% of all gliomas.

  • Numbers may be higher when stringent classifiation criteria are not applied.
  • Peak incidence: 40-45 years.
  • First description of the tumor in 1926.

The WHO 2016 classification recognizes four tumor subtypes:[3]

  • Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, WHO Grade II (ICD-O: 9450/3).
  • Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, WHO Grade III (ICD-O: 9451/3).
  • Oligodendroglioma, NOS, WHO Grade II (ICD-O: 9450/3).
  • Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, NOS, WHO Grade III (ICD-O: 9451/3).

Gross/radiologic

Location:

  • Cerebral hemispheres - most often (50-60%) frontal lobe, followed by parietal and temporal lobes.[4]
  • Posterior fossa (rare).
  • Intramedullary spinal cord (very rare).

Radiologic features:[4]

  • Intra-axial mass.
  • +/-Calcifications (best seen on CT).
  • Nonenhancing or enhancing.
  • Occasionally well-circumscribed.

Clinical symptoms:

  • Seizures.
  • Intracranial pressure.
  • Focal neurologic decifits.
  • Cognitive changes.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Diffusely growing tumor.
  • Highly cellular lesion composed of:
    • Cells resembling fried eggs (oligodendrocytes) with:
      • Round nucleus - key feature.
      • Distinct cell borders.
      • Moderate-to-marked nuclear atypia.
      • Clear cytoplasm - useful feature (if present).
        • Some oligodendrogliomas have eosinophilic cytoplasm with focal perinuclear clearing.
    • Acutely branched capillary sized vessels - "chicken-wire" like appearance.
      • Abundant, delicate appearing; may vaguely resemble a paraganglioma at low power.
  • Calcifications - important feature.[5]
  • Perifocal edema uncommon.
  • Few tumors may exhibit eosinophilic granular bodies.
  • Some tumors may show a Spongioblastoma-like growth pattern.

Anaplastic (grade III) criteria:[6]

  • "Significant" or "brisk" mitotic activity.
    • That means for most neuropathologists >= 6 mitoses per 10 HPF.
  • Microvacular proliferation.
  • Necrosis.

Note:

  • Tumour cells may be plasmacytoid, i.e. have a plasma cell-like appearance.[7]
    • Also called minigemistocytes.
    • The are usually strong GFAP+ve.

Histologic grading

Come in two flavours:

  1. WHO grade II.
    • This is most oligodendrogliomas.
    • Without genetic testing for IDH-1/2 and LOH 1p/19q, the tumor is called Oligodendroglioma, NOS.
  2. WHO grade III.
    • Features for calling high grade:[2]
      • Endothelial hypertrophy.
        • Plump/large endothelial cells.
      • Necrosis.
      • High mitotic rate (6 mitoses/10 HPF for whatever "HPF" means, see HPFitis).
    • Without genetic testing for IDH-1/2 and LOH 1p/19q, the tumor is called Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, NOS.

IHC

Features:

  • MAP2 +ve.[8]
  • GFAP +ve (variable).
    • Some subtypes +ve - should not be used to distinguish.[9]
  • EMA +ve.
  • IDH-1 (R132H) +ve (approx 85%).
    • 18% +ve in one series of children,[10] 23% +ve in another series.[11]
  • ATRX +ve (nuclear retention).
    • Useful for differentiating astrocytoma vs. oligodendroglioma.[12]
  • H3K27me3 -ve (nuclear loss).[13]
  • SOX10 +ve (up to 80%).[14]
  • p53 -ve or low expressed.
  • Ki-67 (usu. >5% in grade II).
  • May have neuronal "islands" (Synapto +ve, NeuN +ve).

Molecular pathology

Combined losses of 1p and 19q both and presence of IDH1/2 mutation is required for final diagnosis and is prognostic and therapeutic relevant:[15][16][17]

  • Greater chemosensitivity
  • Better prognosis.

Note:

  • Consider underdiagnosed Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype when tumor is IDH1/2 wildtype and has no LOH 1p/19q and no ATRX loss.
  • IDH-1 mutant, but non-codeleted tumors are no longer classified as oligodendrogliomas on molecular basis. These tumors are classified either as IDH-mutant astrocytoma or glioblastoma, depending on histologic features present.
