Overview

abstract

  • CONTEXT: Several distinctive mixed glioneuronal tumors that warrant recognition as clinicopathologic entities have been recently described by neuropathologists. OBJECTIVE: To summarize important clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings for 3 novel glioneuronal tumors (papillary glioneuronal tumor, rosetted glioneuronal tumor, and rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor of the fourth ventricle). DATA SOURCES: Recent reports in the pathology literature and the authors' experience with mixed glioneuronal tumors at a major cancer center. CONCLUSIONS: Histologic features enabling recognition of these recently described glioneuronal tumors are presented along with remarks concerning the classification of mixed neuronal and glial tumors exhibiting unconventional appearances.
