Overview

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma must be differentiated from subependymal nodule, ependymoma, colloid cyst, tuberculoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, glioblastoma multiforme, primary CNS lymphoma, and cerebral metastases.

Differentiating Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma from other Diseases

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma must be differentiated from:

Category	Differential diagnosis
Tumors	Subependymal nodule Ependymoma Central neurocytoma Subependymoma Subependymal hamartomas of tuberous sclerosis Intraventricular meningioma Choroid plexus papilloma Choroid plexus carcinoma Choroid plexus metastases Craniopharyngioma
Cysts	Colloid cyst Intraventricular simple cysts (arachnoid cyst, ependymal cyst, and choroid plexus cyst) Choroid plexus xanthogranuloma Cavum septum pellucidum Cavum vergae Cavum velum interpositum
Infection	Neurocysticercosis Tuberculoma
Hemorrhage	Intraventricular hemorrhage
Periventricular parenchymal lesions	Glioblastoma multiforme Primary CNS lymphoma Cerebral metastases Medulloblastoma Hemangioblastoma Pilocytic astrocytoma Atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumor Pineal region masses Pineocytoma Pineal parenchymal tumor with intermediate differentiation Papillary tumor of the pineal region Pineal metastasis Pineal cyst Pineoblastoma Germ cell tumors Pineal germinoma Pineal embryonal carcinoma Pineal choriocarcinoma Pineal yolk sac carcinoma Pineal teratoma
