They invariably occur in the setting of tuberous sclerosis and affect the region near the foramen of Monro, potentially obstructing the flow of CSF and causing hydrocephalus. Clinically and radiologically, this overlaps with other low-grade glial tumors, in particular pilocytic astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma. Like SEGAs, PXA contains a solid arrangement of atypical, pleomorphic tumor cells with an astrocytic morphology and abundant pink or pale cytoplasm. These tumors are important to recognize because of their strong association with TSC and because they can be confused with higher grade neoplasms of the CNS. Occasionally, direct visualization of all ventricle surfaces is not possible. From: Textbook of Clinical Neurology (Third Edition), 2007, Daniel J. Brat, Arie Perry, in Practical Surgical Neuropathology, 2010. Spinal seeding via cerebrospinal fluid is a common complication of ATRT (Hilden et al 2004). However, molecular-genetic studies have indicated clear differences between cerebellar liponeurocytoma and medulloblastoma (Horstmann et al 2004). The dura is augmented with pericranium or Duragen and fibrin glue when necessary. The diagnosis is made on the basis of stigmata of tuberous sclerosis such as the presence of subependymal nodules and cortical tubers. Unlike diffuse astrocytomas, the biologic behavior of SEGA is relatively unrelated to histology. Patients included nine females and five males, with a mean age at diagnosis 28 years (range 4–60). resemblance to astrocytic and ganglion cells, its histogenesis remains controversial. The most important landmarks are the foramen of Monro, the thalamostriate vein, the choroid plexus, and the fornix. The giant cell variant comprises approximately 5% of glioblastomas. OBJECTIVES Intraventricular astrocytomas (subependymal giant cell astrocytomas) of tuberous sclerosis have a poor prognosis due to the obstruction of CSF flow. Two grades, oligodendroglioma/oligoastrocytoma (WHO II) and anaplastic oligodendroglioma/anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (WHO grade III) are recognized. As in the 2000 scheme, there are four categories of ependymal tumors: subependymoma, myxopapillary ependymoma, ependymoma (with cellular, papillary, clear cell and tanycytic variants) and anaplastic ependymoma. In one series of 47 pathologically proven lateral ventricular neoplasms, Jelinek et al (1990) found that the clinical characteristics most consistent with SGCA include presentation in the first three decades of life, location at the foramen of Monro, and tumor enhancement with contrast on CT scan. They are slowly growing, relatively circumscribed neoplasms with a predilection for midline structures – optic nerve and chiasm, hypothalamus, and dorsal brainstem. Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA, SGCA, or SGCT) is a low-grade astrocytic brain tumor (astrocytoma) that arises within the ventricles of the brain. When first reported, this neoplasm was regarded as a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor involving the cerebellum (Kuchelmeister et al 1995). Finally, a ventricular catheter is passed through the cortisectomy under direct vision. expand submenu for Find Diseases By Category, expand submenu for Patients, Families and Friends, expand submenu for Healthcare Professionals. This category has replaced ‘Glial tumors of uncertain origin’ in the 2000 scheme. Thomas C. Chen, ... J. Gordon McComb, in Brain Tumors (Third Edition), 2012. We report a neonate with a rare case of a huge subependymal giant cell astrocytoma with atypical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. This lesion is larger than should be seen for other subependymal nodules in tuberous sclerosis. (A) Axial FLAIR, (B) axial T1 postgadolinium, and (C) sagittal T1 postgadolinium MR images of a cognitively impaired patient with seizures and adenoma sebaceum. Contact a GARD Information Specialist.

Malignant transformation, i.e., the development of anaplastic features in recurrences of a previous benign ganglioma has been noted (Mittelbronn et al 2007). SEGAs are uncommon tumors and account for less than 1% of all intracranial masses. When first reported (Kepes et al 1979), PXAs appeared to behave in a non-aggressive manner. Pineoblastoma is an aggressive (WHO IV) pineal parenchymal tumor that may seed the craniospinal axis and metastasize outside the CNS, particularly to bone (Constantine et al 2005). The small cells were initially described as having oligodendroglial features but their processes are immunoreactive for synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase (Leung et al 1994), suggesting a neuronal lineage. As in previous classification schemes, separation of subependymoma and myxopapillary ependymoma from ependymoma, is based on their characteristic histopathological features and specific anatomical locations. 7.7F), but the staining intensity may be surprisingly weak in some instances.33 Staining for S-100 is more reliably strong in tumor cells. Diffuse astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme represent the great bulk of astrocytic gliomas. Check the full list of possible causes and conditions now!

Examples in which tumor cells express both neuronal and astrocytic lineage markers have been described (Tsuchida et al 1996). Some neurocytic tumors occurring in the cerebellum may show a prominent component of mature adipocytes. Necrosis in anaplastic oligoastrocytoma however, is associated with a significantly reduced survival (Miller et al 2006). However, most tumors also express neuronal-associated proteins, including neurofilament proteins and neuronal-associated class III β-tubulin,48 and exhibit variable immunoreactivity for many neuropeptides. The transcortical middle frontal gyrus approach is an excellent route for the excision of tumors in the ipsilateral anterior horn of the lateral ventricle, the anterior body of the lateral ventricle, and the anterior third ventricle. In contrast, opening on the taenia fornix side in which a unilateral forniceal injury occurs often results in no permanent memory loss (Fig. However, expression of neuronal markers (Powell et al 1996) and the hemopoietic progenitor cell antigen, CD34 (Reifenberger et al 2003), has also been noted. Subependymoma and ependymoma are distinguished by their pseudorosettes (although SEGAs can have perivascular orientation as well), strong uniform GFAP expression, and lack of prominent gemistocyte-like and ganglionic cells. The patient is placed in the supine position with the head elevated 10 to 30 degrees. Most tumor cells that display astrocytic differentiation morphologically will show patchy immunoreactivity for GFAP (see Fig. The rare development of cPNET several years after cranial irradiation for glial tumors has been described (Barasch et al 1988; Baborie et al 2007). Tumors arising from neuroepithelium are divided into nine categories: astrocytic, oligodendroglial, oligoastrocytic and ependymal tumors, choroid plexus tumors, other neuroepithelial tumors (for which histogenesis is uncertain), neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors, tumors of the pineal region and embryonal tumors. Jouvet and colleagues suggested an origin from specialized ependymal cells in the sub-commissural organ based on immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features. Neuroepithelial tumors, as a group, have an incidence rate, in the USA, of 7.67/100 000 per year in males and 5.35/100 000 per year in females (CBTRUS 2005). The penetrance of TSC1 and TSC2 mutations is 100%, but phenotype is highly variable and genotype does not predict phenotype, even within families, indicating that nongenetic factors influence phenotype. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor WHO III. Neurocytomas involving the spinal cord have also been described (Coca et al 1994; Tatter et al 1994). These tumors occur at any site within the CNS. Moreover, it is uncommon to note dissemination of these tumors into the CSF space. However, rare cases of craniospinal dissemination have been reported (Yamamoto et al 1996; Eng et al 1997). 9.6B) and S-100 protein varies considerably. Co-deletion is predictive of responsiveness to alkylating chemotherapeutic agents (Cairncross et al 1998) as well as prolonged recurrence free survival (Cairncross et al 1998; Ino et al 2000, 2001). Pineoblastoma may be a component of the trilateral retinoblastoma syndrome (bilateral retinoblastoma and pineoblastoma) (De Potter et al 1994). Tumors of the pineal region are classified as in the 2000 scheme. Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma may rarely form the glial component of a ganglioglioma (Kordek et al 1995) and co-existence of PXA and ganglioglioma as separate composite tumors has also been reported (Perry et al 1997a). Amongst brain tumors, glial tumors comprise 60% of the tumors. Central neurocytoma is a histologically distinct tumor composed of small cells with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of neurons (Hassoun et al 1982; Townsend & Seaman 1986). Central neurocytoma could be potentially problematic, but can usually be distinguished by its delicate neuropil, occasional neurocytic rosettes, and strong, uniform expression of neuronal markers, such as synaptophysin. SEGA tumors most often form in the middle of the brain, in a part called the foramen of Monro. Circumscribed astrocytic tumors (pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, pilocytic astrocytoma) have well-defined margins, are benign, and are typically managed with surgery alone. Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. If the endoscope is used, a endoscopic third ventriculostomy may also be performed. October 2010 approved for the treatment of patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tuberous sclerosis who require therapeutic intervention but are not candidates for curative surgical resection. However, they may progress to subependymal giant cell astrocytoma which may lead to obstructive hydrocephalus, causing morbidity or mortality. Progression from conventional to anaplastic medulloblastoma has been documented. The in-depth resources contain medical and scientific language that may be hard to understand. Originally described in 1996 as pseudo-papillary ganglioneurocytoma (Komori et al 1996) but later as papillary glioneuronal tumor (Komori et al 1998), this is a low-grade (WHO I), non-aggressive tumor occurring most commonly in the temporal lobe (Komori et al 1998). The tumor is hyperdense on CT and heterogeneous on T2 and T1 MRI, and it enhances following contrast. Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma -like astrocytomas have distinct clinicopathologic features.

Pathogenesis of Tuberous Sclerosis Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytomas: ... reflecting a high rate of new mutations. Almost always, they occur in the vicinity of the foramen of Monro in children or young adults and are tightly linked with the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). These observations are confirmed by ultrastructural features suggestive of neuronal differentiation, including microtubules, rare dense-core granules, and occasional synapse formation.49 Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features are similar to those seen in the cortical tubers of tuberous sclerosis complex. PRKAR1A (17q24) found in this syndrome. 7.6). Pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation is composed of small neurocytic cells arranged in diffuse sheets and showing synaptophysin immunoreactivity. Myxomas, large cell calcifying sertoli cell tumors, Gardner Syndrome. Despite documentation of anaplastic features (mitoses, vascular endothelial cell hyperplasia, necrosis), their behavior is universally benign (Cuccia et al 2003; Kim et al 2001) and they are graded as WHO I. Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) occurs predominantly in children and young adults often located superficially, with occasional extension into overlying meninges. The differential diagnosis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is principally the exclusion of a usual astrocytoma. The latter approach is more commonly associated with direct injury to the thalamostriate vein and thalamus. 7.6).29 They rarely occur bilaterally or extend into the third ventricle. This entity was incorporated into the 1993 WHO classification. These resources provide more information about this condition or associated symptoms. Despite gemistocytic astrocytoma having a particular propensity to progress to anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma (Krouwer et al 1991; Schiffer et al 1988), diffuse astrocytomas are accorded a grading of WHO II. The commonest sites are cerebral hemispheric white matter, cerebellum, cerebellopontine angle and brainstem. Histologically, SEGA can resemble gemistocytic astrocytoma, since both contain cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. In the CNS, the putative cellular target may be a radial glial cell or bipotential progenitor with a limited proliferative capacity that resides in the sub-ventricular zone. The essential features differentiating this tumor from pineal parenchymal tumors are expression of a range of cytokeratins (Fèvre-Montange et al 2006) and only focal weak immunostaining for synaptophysin (Jouvet et al 2003). This tumor was first recognized in the late 1990s (Tihan et al 1999) as a variant of pilocytic astrocytoma, occurring predominantly in children. Extension into the third ventricle is uncommonly seen. Subependymal hamartomas are mostly asymptomatic. The distinctive histopathological feature is the presence of vascularized papillary structures covered by one or more layers of small glial cells, which may include Olig2 immunoreactive oligodendroglia (Tanaka et al 2005). Early in the dissection, frozen specimens are collected for pathological examination. Rather, it is referred to in the discussion of variations in the histopathological appearances of anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme (Kleihues et al 2007). SGA can be distinguished from these tumors on imaging by the identification of features of tuberous sclerosis as described above.85, Daniel J. Brat MD, PhD, Arie Perry MD, in Practical Surgical Neuropathology: A Diagnostic Approach (Second Edition), 2018. As their name implies, they grow directly under the ependymal surface of the lateral ventricle, and therefore a benign ependymal lining can be noted histologically at the surface of the tumors. The prevalence rate of TSC in patients with SEGA ranges from 5% to 20%. Reactivity for a range of neuronal lineage markers: neuron specific enolase (NSE); neurofilament protein (NFP); tau protein; class III β tubulin, may be seen (Yamane et al 2002), as well as expression of photosensory proteins such as retinal S antigen and rhodopsin (Perentes et al 1986; Illum et al 1992). Tumoral calcifications are thought to relate to small areas of prior hemorrhage. Although the clinical phenotype of TS is complex, only three lesions characterize the neuropathological features of the disease: cortical tubers, subependymal nodules, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. The characteristic histopathological feature is the presence of large, bizarrely-shaped tumor cells containing multiple hyperchromatic nuclei. Mixed patterns of conventional and anaplastic medulloblastoma can also be seen in the one tumor. Immunoreactivity of choroid epithelium for transthyretin (Paulus & Janisch 1990) and synaptophysin (Kepes & Collins 1999) is helpful in separating these choroid plexus tumors from other papillary neoplasms, in particular metastatic papillary carcinoma. 51-6). With the exceptions of anaplastic ganglioglioma and a minority of neurocytomas, neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors behave non-aggressively. An association with Cowden's syndrome has been documented (Padberg et al 1991).

APC(5q) gene mutation, GI polyps, desmoid tumors, osteomas, desmoplastic fibromas. The latter is composed of large epithelioid cells with prominent nucleoli and exhibits abundant mitotic figures and apoptotic debris as well as areas of necrosis (Giangaspero et al 1992; Verma et al 2008). Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a World Health Organization grade I tumor of glioneuronal origin, which is most commonly located at the caudothalamic groove adjacent to the foramen of Monro. Care is taken to achieve complete hemostasis at regular intervals. Histologically, they are intensely GFAP-positive, with exceptionally large component cells characterized by an eosinophilic cytoplasm (Russell & Rubinstein 1989). The term ‘pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with anaplastic features’ has been proposed for these variants (Giannini et al 1999b) but this specific terminology is not used in the 2007 classification scheme and PXAs are graded as WHO II. Ependymomas with these features are more common in the posterior cranial fossa and usually have low proliferation indices (Korshunov et al 2000). These tumors are most commonly diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, with in uterodiagnosed SEGAs being an extremely rare entity. The majority of tumor cells demonstrate variable immunoreactivity for GFAP and S-100 protein in addition to neuronal-associated epitopes such as class β-III tubulin, NF-H/M (Figs 2.36, 2.37) and neurotransmitters with variable ultrastructural features suggestive of neuronal differentiation, including microtubules, occasional dense-core granules, and rare synapse formation (Lopes & VandenBerg 2007).
