Overview
Other diagnostic studies for oligoastrocytoma include biopsy (homogeneous, compact, rounded cells with distinct borders and clear cytoplasm surrounding a dense central nucleus and perinuclear halo) and fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique (deletions of chromosome 1p and 19q).[1]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
- Biopsy may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis of oligoastrocytoma.
- On biopsy, oligoastrocytoma is characterized by homogeneous, compact, rounded cells with distinct borders and clear cytoplasm surrounding a dense central nucleus and perinuclear halo, giving it the characteristic “fried egg” appearance.
- Biopsy may be done at the time of surgical resection of oligoastrocytoma.
- Biopsy may be of two types: open and stereotactic.
- Indications for open biopsy and stereotactic biopsy are described below:[2]
| Type of biopsy | Indications |
|---|---|
|
Fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique
- FISH demonstrates deletions of chromosome 1p and 19q.[1]
