[[Oligodendroglioma]] is a diffuse geowing glial tumour with clear cell morphology. In WHO grade II the MIB-1 proliferation index is rather low. GFAP stains the neuropil background and minigemistocytes (if present). There is no ATRX loss. The vast majority of oligodendrogliomas stain positively for IDH1 R132H mutation.

[Astrocytoma]] is a diffusely growing tumor with low cell density, neoplastic astrocytes resting in a fibrillary backrgound and low MIB1 index. GFAP is strong and also stains the cell processes. IND1 R132H postive astrocytomas usually exhibit nuclear ATRX loss. There is no expression of epithelial markers (panCK).
