Overview
Historical Perspective
The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors", of which oligoastrocytoma is a part, 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]
