Oligodendrogliomas in children.

G J Dohrmann, J R Farwell, J T Flannery

    Surgical Neurology

    Summary

    Oligodendrogliomas are rare pediatric brain tumors, accounting for 1-2% of childhood intracranial neoplasms. This study reviewed 12 cases diagnosed in Connecticut children between 1935 and 1975, with most occurring in the cerebral hemispheres.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric neuro-oncology
    • Central nervous system tumors

    Background:

    • Oligodendrogliomas are rare primary brain tumors.
    • Pediatric incidence of oligodendrogliomas is notably low.
    • These tumors represent a small fraction of all childhood brain cancers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of pediatric oligodendrogliomas.
    • To review cases of cerebral oligodendrogliomas in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of histologically verified cases.
    • Analysis of data from Connecticut over a 41-year period (1935-1975).
    • Focus on patients under 20 years of age.

    Main Results:

    • Twelve cases of oligodendroglioma were identified in children.
    • These cases constituted 1-2% of all primary intracranial neoplasms in Connecticut children.
    • Eleven of the twelve tumors were located in the cerebral hemispheres.

    Conclusions:

    • Oligodendrogliomas are infrequent in the pediatric population.
    • Cerebral hemisphere location is common for pediatric oligodendrogliomas.
    • Further research into pediatric oligodendroglioma characteristics is warranted.
