Overview

Biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis of astrocytomas. Findings suggestive diagnostic of astrocytoma include normal cells with slow growth rate, biphasic pattern (dense fibrillar tissue within loose myxoid tissue), Calcification, Vascular hyalinization and Nested fibrotic pattern in pilocytic astrocytoma, atypical cells, relatively slow mitosis rate, diffusely infiltrate neuropil and poorly defined cytoplasm in diffuse astrocytoma, pleomorphic and malignant cells, High mitosis rate, hyperchromatosis and prominent small vessels in anaplastic astrocytoma, Pleomorphic cells, Naked nuclei, Multi-focal necrosis, Pseudopalisading pattern, Scattered pyknotic nuclear debris in the center, Micro-vascular proliferation and Vascular thrombi in glioblastoma multiform.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis of astrocytomas:[1][2][3]

  • Astrocytomas are histologically heterogenous.
  • Obtaining small specimen from astrocytomas might lead to false diagnosis.
  • For lesions with areas of contrast enhancement the specimen should be obtained from those areas.
  • For lesions with no intra-tumor enhancement the specimen should be obtained from the center of the tumor.
