以下是引用mjma在2010-3-31 11:15:00的发言: This is an interesting case. The neoplastic cells appear glial, and many have oval and relatively uniform nuclei surrounded by perinuclear halos. Some neoplastic cells are more elongated and astrocytic. There is a distinctive biphasic growth pattern - eosinophilic fibrillary areas alternating with mucoinous microcysts containing loosely arranged cells with perinuclear halos. There are scattered calcospherites strongly suggestive of a low grade neoplasm. Occasional isolated giant cells with large and hyperchromatic nuclei are present focally. In some areas neoplastic cells are found between a network of small vessels suggestive of that seen in oligodendroglioma. I do not find mitotic figures, so presumably they are very rare. I do not see necrosis. vascular/endothelial proliferation or features of cytologic anaplasia. My first impression is that this is WHO grade I pilocytic astrocytoma with hemorrhage. I would look for the following features to confirm or support my impression - eosinophilic granular bodies and Rosenthal fibers. If neither structures are found, I would carefully search and count mitotic figures. If they are fewer than 1~2 per 10 high-power fields, this is still likely a pilocytic astrocytoma. Even if mitotic figures are more than 2 per 10 high-power fields, it is still a pilocytic astrocytoma (perhaps a rare case of atypical pilocytic astrocytoma) if either eosinophilic granular bodies or Rosenthal fibers are present. I do ot think this is oligodendroglioma or fibrillary astrocytoma. |
