Gangliogliomas: pathological and clinical correlation

J H Johannsson, H L Rekate, U Roessmann

    Journal of Neurosurgery
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary

    Gangliogliomas are rare tumors found throughout the central nervous system. Despite variable histology, these lesions are generally nonaggressive, offering a good prognosis and long-term survival potential for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neuropathology

    Background:

    • Gangliogliomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).
    • These tumors exhibit significant histological variability.
    • Their occurrence spans the entire CNS spectrum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze fourteen cases of ganglioglioma.
    • To correlate histological features with biological behavior.
    • To determine factors influencing prognosis and survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of fourteen ganglioglioma cases.
    • Histopathological examination of tumor samples.
    • Review of clinical data, including location and treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Histological appearance was highly variable and did not correlate with tumor behavior.
    • Tumor location and treatment options were key determinants of prognosis.
    • The analyzed gangliogliomas demonstrated a nonaggressive nature.

    Conclusions:

    • Gangliogliomas are generally nonaggressive CNS tumors.
    • Prognosis is influenced by tumor location and treatment modalities.
    • Long-term survival is consistent with the nonaggressive behavior observed.
