Clinicopathological features and global genomic copy number alterations of pilomyxoid astrocytoma in the hypothalamus/optic pathway: comparative analysis with pilocytic astrocytoma using array-based comparative genomic hybridization.

9 Jul 2008 Pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a recently identified variant of pilocytic astrocytoma. We studied 11 circumscribed astrocytomas with focal (n=5) or diffuse (n=6) pilomyxoid features and compared them with 17 pilocytic astrocytomas from the ... Read more...

[Childhood diencephalic pilocytic astrocytoma. A review of seven observations]

30 Jan 2006 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is a WHO grade I tumor of the central nervous system mostly arising in children and young adults. Management of diencephalic PA is a difficult challenge. Surgical treatment has to cope with both the ... Read more...

Pilocytic and pilomyxoid hypothalamic/chiasmatic astrocytomas.

30 Dec 2003 OBJECTIVE: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is a common type of pediatric brain tumor that can arise within the hypothalamic/chiasmatic region and typically has an excellent outcome. We identified a group of tumors, previously classified as PAs, with ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hypothalamic Neoplasms'

Definition: Benign and malignant tumors of the HYPOTHALAMUS. Pilocytic astrocytomas and hamartomas are relatively frequent histologic types. Neoplasms of the hypothalamus frequently originate from adjacent structures, including the OPTIC CHIASM, optic nerve (see OPTIC NERVE NEOPLASMS), and pituitary gland (see PITUITARY NEOPLASMS). Relatively frequent clinical manifestations include visual loss, developmental delay, macrocephaly, and precocious puberty.
