title: [Quantitative histological observations in gliomas (author's transl)].
abstract: 30 autopsy cases of gliomas (5 fusiform glioblastomas, 5 multiform glioblastomas, 5 fibrillary astrocytomas, 5 protoplasmic astrocytomas, 5 oligodendrogliomas, 5 spongioblastomas) were studied by means of morphometry. 7 parameters (volume and area parameters of tumor vessels and of tumor cell nuclei, mitoses) were tested for the ascertainament of useful quantitative criteria for the objective differentiation of the gliomas. 210 statistical comparisons were carried out. Significant differences were observed in 32 of them. It could be demonstrated that the parameters of the tumor cell nuclei are most useful in the differentiation of the gliomas. Significant differences do not exist between fusiform glioblastoma--multiform glioblastoma, fusiform glioblastoma--oligodendroglioma, fibrillary and protoplasmic astrocytoma--spongioblastoma.
