[An x-ray and histologic study of calcifications of tumors of the subcortical ganglia of the brain].
X-ray and histological studies of 138 patients with tumors of subcortical nodes displayed signs of hypertension in 86.3% of the cases (119 cases). Calcified foci on the craniograms were found in 29 cases (21%) and in histological findings - in 48 cases (34.6%). Petrified foci in benign glial tumors were located between the tumor cells, perivascularly and in the tissue of the perifocal zone of the tumor. In malignant tumors the petrified foci were mainly in the area of necrosis, in microcysts and hemmorrhagical foci. According to the pattern of calcification on the x-ray it was impossible to determine the histological type of the tumor or the degree of malignancy. The volume of calcification on the craniograms do not correspond to the volume and configuration of the intracranial tumor.
