Overview
The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors", of which oligoastrocytoma is a part of, was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926, where they mentioned that gliomas were formed by transformation of glial cells.[1][2] Celli et al in 1994 gave the name of "oligoastrocytoma" to those oligodendroglial tumors where the astrocytes formed more than 20% of the tumor cells.[3]
Historical Perspective
- The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors" was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926.[1][2]
- The anaplastic nature of oligodendroglial tumors was described by Kernohan based on the features such as endotheliael proliferation, nuclear atypia, mitoses, and necrosis.
- The studies by Zulch, Kleihues et al, and Daumas-Duport system (St. Anne-Mayo schema) resulted in the formulation of the WHO classification of CNS tumors, where oligoastrocytoma and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma were graded as WHO grade II (low-grade) and WHO grade III (high-grade) tumor, respectively.[4][5]
- Celli et al in 1994 gave the name of "oligoastrocytoma" to those oligodendroglial tumors where the astrocytes formed more than 20% of the tumor cells.[3]
