Desmoplastic Non-Infantile Ganglioglioma; An Incidental Finding with Unusual Localization
The term desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma/ganglioglioma (DIA/DIG) was first introduced by VandenBerg et al. [1] in order to designate a distinct brain tumor, characterized by an early occurrence (usually within the first 4 months of life), voluminous size, intense desmoplasia, divergent astrocytic and ganglionic differentiation and a favorable postoperative course [1]. Although these tumors w...
متن کاملDesmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma with calcification.
Desmoplastic infantile gangliogliomas (DIGs) are rare intracranial, cystic tumors, usually detected within the first 2 years of life. Histologically, these tumors are characterized by intense desmoplasia and a divergent astrocytic and neuronal differentiation. Less than 60 well-documented cases of this extremely rare tumor are reported in the literature. We present the case of a 10-month-old ma...

Desmoplastic gangliogliomas are rare mixed glial and neuronal cerebral tumors, especially described in infants below 4 years of age but exceptional cases have been reported in young adults. These tumors are generally localised in parietal or temporal lobes, present as a large cystic lesion with peripheral contrast enhancement.

متن کاملDesmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma: case report.
Desmoplastic infantile gangliogliomas are very rarely encountered, large supratentorial masses, derived from neuroepithelial origin, which have cystic and solid components and contain cells with astrocytic and ganglionic differentiation. These tumors are benign tumors of childhood that become symptomatic when they reach giant sizes. Sixty cases of desmoplastic ganglioglioma have been reported t...
متن کاملDesmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma: CT and MR features.
In 1987, VandenBerg and colleagues [1] reported 11 cases of an apparently distinct clinicopathologic entity: desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma. The patients were all infants who presented with large tumors that showed evidence of glial and ganglionic differentiation accompanied by an extreme desmoplastic reaction. Routinely, the prognosis was excellent following either partial or complete tu...
