Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, abbreviated SEGA, is a low-grade astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.
General
- Associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).[1]
- 6-14% of all TSC patients will develop a SEGA.
- Associated with epilepsy.
- WHO Grade I.
Gross/radiology
- Well-demarcated.
- Often projecting into a ventricle.
- May be calcified
- Circumscribed tumour.
SEGA in Tuberous sclerosis. (WC/AFIP)
SEGA. (WC/AFIP)
Microscopic
- Giant cells with nuclear atypia ("bizarre cells", "ganglioid cells").
- Glassy eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Elongated cells in a fibrillary background.
- Abundant mast cells.[4]
- Lymphocytic infiltrates.
- Endothelial proliferations and/or necrosis are not a sign of malignancy.
