Overview

The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors", of which oligoastrocytoma is a part of, was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926. They reported that gliomas were formed by transformation of glial cells. Celli et al in 1994 gave the name of "oligoastrocytoma" to those oligodendroglial tumors where the astrocytes formed more than 20% of the tumor cells.

Historical Perspective

  • The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors" was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926.[1][2]
  • The anaplastic nature of oligodendroglial tumors was described by Kernohan based on the features such as endotheliael proliferation, nuclear atypia, mitoses, and necrosis.
  • The studies by Zulch, Kleihues et al, and Daumas-Duport system (St. Anne-Mayo schema) resulted in the formulation of the WHO classification of CNS tumors, where oligoastrocytoma and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma were graded as WHO grade II (low-grade) and WHO grade III (high-grade) tumor, respectively.[3][4]
  • Celli et al in 1994 gave the name of "oligoastrocytoma" to those oligodendroglial tumors where the astrocytes formed more than 20% of the tumor cells.[5]
