Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is a rare brain tumor with unusual cells but a generally good prognosis. This case report details a pediatric PXA, highlighting its unique microscopic and immunohistochemical features.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pathology
  • Pediatric Oncology

Context:

  • Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is an uncommon glial tumor.
  • PXA exhibits distinct cellular morphology and often has a favorable prognosis.
  • Understanding PXA's characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of PXA in a 13-year-old girl.
  • To describe the clinicopathologic features of this rare tumor.
  • To discuss the histogenesis, differential diagnosis, and prognosis of PXA.

Summary:

  • A 13-year-old female presented with a right occipitoparietal PXA.
  • Microscopic examination revealed marked pleomorphism, occasional mitosis, and absence of necrosis.
  • Immunohistochemistry showed GFAP positivity, and electron microscopy identified glial filaments and lipid vacuoles, suggesting a subpial astrocyte origin.

Impact:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of PXA in pediatric patients.
  • The findings aid in differentiating PXA from other brain tumors.
  • Provides insights into the potential origin and behavior of PXA.
