Overview
Laboratory Findings
Lumbar Puncture
- Some patients with oligodendroglioma may have elevated protein and cell count with normal glucose and lactate on CSF analysis, which is usually suggestive of hydrocephalus.[1]
- Monocytes and lymphocytes may be observed on cytological CSF examination, but usually devoid of tumor cells.
