Cerebral gangliogliomas. Morphological and immunohistochemical study.
Report concerns 6 uncommon cases of cerebral ganglioglioma in adult patients, the majority of whom (4) demonstrated typical classic features, others were anaplastic. Both types presented neuronal and glial components characterized either by NF, NSE and Syn or GFAP immunoreactivity. Only the tumor of the youngest patient presented moderate desmoplasia. Observations indicate at an easy classification of glial component contrary to neuronal component in relation to the origin of neuronal changes.
