An astrocytoma is a neoplasm derived from an astrocyte. Astrocytomas are common. This article is a brief introduction them. An overview of CNS tumours is found in the CNS tumours article.
Overview
| Name | Type | Variants / Patterns | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diffuse Astrocytoma, WHO II | diffuse | protoplasmatic, fibrillar, gemistocytic | |
| Anaplastic Astrocytoma, WHO III | diffuse | gliomatosis cerebri | |
| Glioblastoma, WHO IV | diffuse | small cell, epitheloid/rhabdoid, with PNET componet, with granular cell component, giant cell, gliosarcoma | |
| Pilocytic astrocytoma, WHO I | circumscribed | pilomyxoid astrocytoma, anaplastic pilocytic astrocytoma | |
| Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, WHO II (PXA) | circumscribed | anaplastic PXA | |
| Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, WHO I (SEGA) | circumscribed | SEGA in tuberous sclerosis |

Common
Pilocytic astrocytoma
- Benign, cystic, infratentorial.
- Classic childhood tumor, surgically resectable.
- Variant: Pilomyxoid astrocytoma
Main article: Pilocytic astrocytoma
Diffuse astrocytoma
- Grade II astrocytic tumors typically seen in adults.
- Usually show progression to glioblastoma.
Main article: Diffuse astrocytoma
Anaplastic astrocytoma
- Grade III astrocytic tumors typically seen in adults.
- Lacks endothelial proliferations and necrosis of glioblastoma.
Main article: Anaplastic astrocytoma
Glioblastoma
- Most common malignant brain tumor peaking around 65 years.
- Prognosis very poor.
- Variant: Giant cell glioblastoma
- Variant: Gliosarcoma
Main article: Glioblastoma
Uncommon
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
- Intraventricular benign tumor of adolescents.
- Assoicated with Tuberous sclerosis.
Main article: Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
Pleomorphic xanthroastrocytoma (PXA)
- Kids & young adults usually with good prognosis.
- Large lipidized cells mimicking a malignant tumor
Main article: Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
Gliomatosis cerebri
- Depreceated entity.
- Was used for extensively diffusely growing astrocytic neoplasms.
- More than 3 lobes have to be involved, us. bilateral (radiology required).
- biologic behaviour corresponds to WHO III (ICD-O: 9381/3)
- Based on presence / absence of a solid component authors propose two types:[4]
- GC type 1: classic diffuse growth, without IDH1/2 mutation.
- GC type 2: with a solid portion, mostly IDH1 mutant.
- Genetic studies indicate strong overlap with diffuse astrocytic gliomas, oligodendrogliomas and glioblastoma.
Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M mutant
- High-grade astrocytic neoplasm associated with midline structures (thalamus, brain stem, spinal cord).
- Mostly in children and adolescents.
- Includes diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DPIG).
- Newly defined entity since WHO 2016 classification.[5]
- Distinct biological and clinical group with poor prognosis.[6]
- MRI: May be or be not enhancing.
- Histologic spectrum ranges from minimal hypercellularity to full-blown glioblastoma.
Note: Cases may also appear outside midline structures and in adult patients.[9]

Gliosarcoma
General
- Considered to be a variant of glioblastoma by WHO.[10]
- Rare ~ 200 cases reported in the literature.[10]
- Definition: gliosarcoma = glioblastoma + sarcomatous component.[11]
- Usual location (like glioblastoma): temporal lobe.
- Prognosis is similiar to glioblastoma.[12]
- Age below 65 years is prognostic.
Microscopic
Features:
- Glioblastoma.
- Sarcomatous component (one of the following):[10][11]
- Fibroblastic.
- Cartilaginous.
- Osseous.
- Smooth muscle.
- Striated muscle.
- Adipocyte.

- Gliosarcoma - case 2 - several images (upmc.edu).
- Gliosarcoma - case 3 - several images (upmc.edu).
IHC
Gliosarcoma with smooth muscle component (gliomyosarcoma):[15]
- SMA +ve.
- Factor VIII +ve.
Gliofibroma
- Very rare indolent tumor in children [16]
- Usually not dura-based (DD: Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma)
- Glial tumor with non-neoplastic fibromatous component.
