Abstract

|
|
Two cases of ganglioglioma are presented. One, arising in the right cerebellar vermis
of 14 rear old girl, showed an ill-defined low density area on CT scan. The tumor was
partly cystic and was excised. She was free of symptoms for 2 years and 3 months.
The other case, 17 year old girl, had a cystic lesion with a mural nodule in the left
cerebral hemisphere. Cystic astrocytoma was the clinical impression. The mural nodule
was excised. Histologicn features of both tumors consisted of neoplastic ganglion cells in
groups or singly in the background of fibrillary astrocytes. The cellularity was variable
in areas, and cystic degeneration and calcification were common features.
Ganglioglioma is the tumor of childhood and adolesence and gives a slow clinical
course.
