Oligodendroglioma with cystic component in infant.
In this report, we examine the case of a 6-year-old girl with a mixed oligodendroglioma demonstrating uncommon neuroradiological images. CT and MR showed an intratemporal mass with multilocular cystic formation and intratumoral massive calcification, suggestive either of astrocytoma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, or ganglioglioma as a presumptive differential diagnosis. The tumor was almost completely removed. Post-operative histological examination revealed a mixed oligodendroglioma with a small component of astrocytoma. The combination of radiotherapy and chemical treatment was supplemented.
