Temporal lobe oligodendroglioma developing from infancy into adulthood.
Clinical, radiological, surgical, and histological features are reported for a patient with a temporal lobe oligodendroglioma that had developed in infancy and was diagnosed and partially resected at age 10. The patient is presently 24 years old and still well. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of an oligodendroglioma with probable onset at 5 months of life and satisfactory course over 24 years.
