Oligoastrocytomas are mixed tumors that arise from the proliferation of both [[oligodendrocyte]]s and [[astrocyte]]s. Genes associated with the pathogenesis of oligoastrocytoma and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma include ''[[Isocitrate dehydrogenase|IDH1]]'', ''[[p53]]'', ''[[EGFR]]'', ''[[ATRX]]'', ''[[EGFR]]'', ''[[PTEN]]'', ''[[Ogt|MGMT]]'', ''CIC'', and ''[[Far upstream element-binding protein 1|FUBP1]]''. 30-70% of oligoastrocytomas show loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of [[chromosome 1|1p]] and [[chromosome 19|19q]]. On gross pathology, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by a soft, well-defined, grey-tan, mucoid or hemorrhagic, calcified mass with or without necrosis, which may expand the [[gyrus]] and cause blurring of the grey-white junction. On microscopic histopathological analysis, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by [[Cell|highly cellular lesions]] composed of both [[oligodendrocyte|oligodendroglial]] and [[astrocyte|astrocytic]] components. In addition to the histological features of oligoastrocytoma, [[anaplastic|anaplastic oligoastrocytoma]] also has significant or brisk [[mitoses|mitotic activity]], marked [[atypia|cytologic and nuclear atypia]], [[necrosis]], [[apoptosis]], and microvacular proliferation. Oligoastrocytoma is demonstrated by positivity to tumor markers such as [[Microtubule-associated protein|MAP2]], [[GFAP]], [[isocitrate dehydrogenase|IDH1]], [[OLIG1|OLIG-1 protein]], [[OLIG2|OLIG-2 protein]], and [[AIF1|Iba-2 protein]].

Overview

Oligoastrocytomas are mixed tumors that arise from the proliferation of both oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Genes associated with the pathogenesis of oligoastrocytoma and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma include IDH1, p53, EGFR, ATRX, EGFR, PTEN, MGMT, CIC, and FUBP1. 30-70% of oligoastrocytomas show loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 1p and 19q. On gross pathology, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by a soft, well-defined, grey-tan, mucoid or hemorrhagic, calcified mass with or without necrosis, which may expand the gyrus and cause blurring of the grey-white junction. On microscopic histopathological analysis, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by highly cellular lesions composed of both oligodendroglial and astrocytic components. In addition to the histological features of oligoastrocytoma, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma also has significant or brisk mitotic activity, marked cytologic and nuclear atypia, necrosis, apoptosis, and microvacular proliferation. Oligoastrocytoma is demonstrated by positivity to tumor markers such as MAP2, GFAP, IDH1, OLIG-1 protein, OLIG-2 protein, and Iba-2 protein.

Low-Grade Oligoastrocytoma

On microscopic histopathological analysis, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by:[15][16][17][18][19]

  • Highly cellular lesions composed of both oligodendroglial and astrocytic components
  • Two types of pattern: biphasic and diffuse
    • Biphasic pattern demonstrates oligodendroglial and astrocytic differentiation, whereas diffuse pattern demonstrates intermingling of both the components
  • Oligodendrocytes
  • Astrocytes
    • Star-shaped cells
    • Composed of gemistocytes
    • Multinucleated giant cells
    • Ovoid nucleus
    • Nuclear atypia
Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma

On microscopic histopathological analysis, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma is characterized by:[15][16][17]
