Perivascular lymphocytic cuffing in astrocytomas.
A series of cases of astrocytoma of differing cell composition and degree of malignancy was examined for the presence of reactive perivascular cuffing. Only surgical biopsy material was used. A correlation was made between perivascular lymphocyte cuffing and the presence of neoplastic astrocytes of the gemistocytic type.
