Astroblastoma of pure type.
A rare case of astroblastoma of the pure type occurring in the left occipital lobe of a 54-year-old female is reported. The predominant histologic feature was that of perivascular pseudorosettes. The tumor tissues were not stained by the Mallory's phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin, but the perikarya of some tumor cells were positively stained for the glial fibrillary acidic protein.
