Angiocentric glioma
Diagnosis in short

Angiocentric glioma. H&E stain.
LM DDx astrocytoma, ependymoma.
IHC GFAP +/-ve, EMA +/-ve.
Gross enlargened gyri
Site brain - usu. grey matter

Clinical history epilepsy-associated
Prevalence very rare - no age prevalence
Prognosis good (WHO Grade I)


Angiocentric glioma, is a WHO grade I glioma. It is super rare.

General

  • previously called monomorphic angiocentric glioma or angiocentric neuroepithelial tumour.
  • Own entity introduced in the WHO 2007 classification.[1]
  • Low-grade glioma - WHO Grade I by definition, but a single recurrence with anaplastic features has been described.[2]
  • Classically a non-enhancing, superficial cerebrocortical lesion.
  • Associated with epilepsy.
  • No association with any tumour syndromes.

Gross

  • Usually well-circumscribed.
  • Enlargement of cortex possible.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Monommorphic, bipolar, spindled cells around blood vessels.
    • mimicking ependymal pseudorosettes (DD: ependymoma).
  • Solid growth with palisaded arrays possible.
  • Low cellularity and rich myxoid background- when compared to classical astrocytomas.
  • Variably GFAP, EMA and S-100 positive
  • No IDH1/2 mutations. [3]
  • MIB-1 between 1-5%

DDx of angiocentric glioma (brief):

Molecular

  • Deletion-truncation breakpoints in MYB/MYBL on 6q23-[4]
  • MYB-QKI rearrangements [5]

Note: Gliomas with MYB/MYBL alteration may histologically resemble diffuse astrocytoma in children but these tumors cluster together with angiocentric glioma suggesting a single tumor entity.[6]
