Overview
Ganglioglioma must be differentiated from dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma, astrocytoma, ependymoma, and transverse myelitis.
Differentiating Ganglioglioma from other Diseases
Ganglioglioma must be differentiated from:[1]
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours (DNET)
- contrast enhancement uncommon
- "bubbly appearance" common
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA)
- contrast enhancement prominent
- dural tail sign often seen
Oligodendroglioma
- calcifications common
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma
- young children
- dural involvement prominent
- large, often multiple lesions
Astrocytoma
- if ganglioglioma is in spinal cord
Ependymoma
- if ganglioglioma is in spinal cord
Transverse myelitis
