Overview
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Oligodendroglioma does not arise from the bipotential oligodendrocytes, although tumor cells look very similiar.[1]
- Oligodendroglioma arises from the tripotential glial precursor cells.
Genetics
- Development of oligodendroglioma is the result from multiple genetic mutations.
- Genes associated with the pathogenesis of oligodendroglioma include:[2][3][4][5][2][3][4][5][6]
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, oligodendroglioma is characterized by a well-circumscribed, gelatinous, gray mass which may expand a gyrus and remodel the skull.[7]
- Other characteristic gross pathological features associated with oligodendroglioma include:[7]
- Calcification (70-90%; one of the most frequently calcifying tumors)
- Focal hemorrhage
- Cystic (20%)
- Common intracranial sites associated with oligodendroglioma include:[8]
- Cerebral hemispheres - most commonly frontal lobe (50-60%), followed by parietal and temporal lobes
- Posterior fossa (rare)
- Intramedullary spinal cord (very rare)
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, oligodendroglioma is characterized by:[9]
- Diffusely growing tumor
- Highly cellular lesion composed of cells resembling fried eggs with:
- Round nucleus - key feature
- Distinct cell borders
- Moderate-to-marked nuclear atypia
- Clear cytoplasm
- Some oligodendrogliomas have eosinophilic cytoplasm with focal perinuclear clearing
- Acutely branched capillary sized vessels - "chicken-wire" like appearance
- Abundant, delicate appearing; may vaguely resemble a paraganglioma at low power
- Calcifications - striking feature
- Perifocal edema - rare
- Few tumors may exhibit eosinophilic granular bodies
- Some tumors may show a spongioblastoma-like growth pattern
On microscopic histopathological analysis, anaplastic oligodendroglioma is characterized by:[9]
- Significant or brisk mitotic activity (>= 6 mitoses per 10 HPF)
- Microvacular proliferation
- Necrosis
- Tumor cells may be plasmacytoid (i.e. have a plasma cell-like appearance)
- Also called as minigemistocytes
Immunohistochemistry
Oligodendroglioma is demonstrated by positivity to tumor markers such as:[10][11]
- MAP2
- GFAP
- S-100
- EMA
- IDH1-R132H
- ATRX
- Ki-67
- NSE
- Synaptophysin
Gallery
-
Oligodendroglioma low magnification showing the characteristic small, branching, chicken wire-like blood vessels.H&E stain.[12]
-
Oligodendroglioma high magnification showing highly cellular lesion composed of cells resembling fried eggs with distinct cell borders moderate-to-marked nuclear atypia, and a clear cytoplasm. Acutely branched capillary sized vessels - "chicken-wire" like appearance.[12]
-
Low power magnification of oligodendroglioma biopsy specimen showing discrete infiltration of the surrounding brain (HE stain, x40 mag).[13]
-
Histopathology of anaplastic oligodendroglioma showing minigemistocytes and mitoses among tumor cells with perinuclear halo. HE stain.[13]
-
Histopathology of anaplastic oligodendroglioma (MAP2 staining) showing perinuclear immunoreactivity of tumor cells.[13]
-
Histopathology of anaplastic oligodendroglioma (IDH1-R132H staining) showing immunoreactivity of tumor cells indicating presence of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-R132H mutation.[13]
