Oligoastrocytoma is an uncommon neuropathology tumour that is suspected not to be a distinct entity.[1]
General
- Mixed tumour.
Microscopic
Features:
- Astrocytoma-like and oligodendroglioma-like:
- Oligodendroglioma-like cells = round nucleus, peri-nuclear clearing.
- Astrocytoma-like cells = non-ovoid/elongated nucleus.
DDx:
IHC
- Oligodendroglioma-like cells: MAP-2 +ve (cytoplasm).
- Astrocytoma-like cells: GFAP +ve (cytoplasm, nuclear membrane).
Others:
- Ki-67 ~10%. (???)
- p53 - focally +ve. (???)
- IDH-1 +ve. (85%)
