'''Oligodendroglioma''' is [[CNS tumour]] that is typically in the cerebral hemispheres.  
'''Oligodendroglioma, IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted''' is [[CNS tumour]] that is typically in the cerebral hemispheres. Molecular analysis of IDH1/2 hotspots and LOH1p/19q testing is required for diagnosis.

Oligodendroglioma
Diagnosis in short

Oligodendroglioma,IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted. H&E stain.
LM highly cellular lesion composed of cells resembling fried eggs (oligodendrocytes) with a round nucleus (important), distinct cell borders, +/-clear cytoplasm - useful feature (if present), acutely branched capillary sized vessels ("chicken-wire" like appearance), calcifications
LM DDx neurocytoma, clear cell variant of ependymoma, seminoma / dysgerminoma / germinoma
Molecular +/-loss of 1p and 19q (common)
Site neuropathology tumours - cerebral hemispheres, posterior fossa (rare), spinal cord (very rare)
Radiology intra-axial mass, +/-calcifications (best seen on CT), nonenhancing or enhancing
Prognosis moderate - dependent on grade

Oligodendroglioma, IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted is CNS tumour that is typically in the cerebral hemispheres. Molecular analysis of IDH1/2 hotspots and LOH1p/19q testing is required for diagnosis.

General

  • Do not arise from oligodendrocytes, although tumor cells look very similiar.[1]
    • Arise from glial precursor cells.

Prognosis by flavours (average survival):[2]

  • WHO CNS grade 2: 10-15 years.
  • WHO CNS grade 3: 3-5 years.

Oligodendrogliomas account for approx 5% of all gliomas.

  • Numbers may be higher when stringent classifiation criteria are not applied.
  • Peak incidence: 40-45 years.
  • First description of the tumor in 1926.

The fifth edition of WHO classification recognizes two tumor subtypes:

  • Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, WHO CNS Grade 2 (ICD-O: 9450/3).
  • Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, WHO CNS Grade 3 (ICD-O: 9451/3).

The terminology anaplastic oligodendroglioma or oligoastrocytoma is depreceated. [3]

Gross/radiologic

Location:

  • Cerebral hemispheres - most often (50-60%) frontal lobe, followed by parietal and temporal lobes.[4]
  • Posterior fossa (rare).
  • Intramedullary spinal cord (very rare).

Radiologic features:[4]

  • Intra-axial mass.
  • +/-Calcifications (best seen on CT).
  • Nonenhancing or enhancing.
  • Occasionally well-circumscribed.
  • Widespread dissemination in a gliomatosis cerebri fashion is very rare (DDx: Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumour).

Clinical symptoms:

  • Seizures (2/3 of all cases).
  • Intracranial pressure.
  • Focal neurologic decifits.
  • Cognitive changes.
  • Incidental finding in 10%.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Diffusely growing tumor.
  • Highly cellular lesion composed of:
    • Cells resembling fried eggs (oligodendrocytes) with:
      • Round nucleus - key feature.
      • Distinct cell borders.
      • Moderate-to-marked nuclear atypia.
      • Clear cytoplasm - useful feature (if present).
        • 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 - important feature.[5]
  • Perifocal edema uncommon.
  • Few tumors may exhibit eosinophilic granular bodies.
  • Some tumors may show a Spongioblastoma-like growth pattern.

Anaplastic (grade 3) criteria:[6]

  • "Significant" or "brisk" mitotic activity.
    • That means for most neuropathologists >= 6 mitoses per 10 HPF.
  • Microvacular proliferation.
  • Necrosis.
  • Rarely multnucleated cells.

Note:

  • The clear cytoplasm around the nucleus is a fixation artefact and not seen in smear, frozen sections or rapid fixation.
  • Tumour cells may be plasmacytoid, i.e. have a plasma cell-like appearance.[7]
    • Also called minigemistocytes.
    • The are usually strong GFAP+ve.
  • Few neural tumours have round nuclei - DDx in intraoperative specimen:

Histologic grading

Come in two flavours:

  1. WHO CNS grade 2
    • This is most oligodendrogliomas.
    • Without genetic testing for IDH-1/2 and LOH 1p/19q, the tumor is called Oligodendroglioma, NOS.
  2. WHO CNS grade 3
    • Features for calling high grade:[2]
      • Endothelial hypertrophy.
        • Plump/large endothelial cells.
      • Necrosis.
      • High mitotic rate (6 or more mitoses/10 HPF of 0.55mm²).
    • Without genetic testing for IDH-1/2 and LOH 1p/19q, the tumor is called Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, NOS.

IHC

Features:

  • MAP2 +ve.[8]
  • GFAP +ve (variable).
    • Some subtypes +ve - should not be used to distinguish.[9]
  • EMA +ve.
  • IDH-1 (R132H) +ve (approx 85%).
    • 18% +ve in one series of children,[10] 23% +ve in another series.[11]
  • ATRX +ve (nuclear retention).
    • Useful for differentiating astrocytoma vs. oligodendroglioma.[12]
  • H3K27me3 -ve (nuclear loss).[13]
  • SOX10 +ve (up to 80%).[14]
  • Olig2 +ve.
  • H3 K27me3 nuclear loss in most cases.
  • NOGO-A often +ve.
  • p53 -ve or low expressed.
  • Ki-67 (usu. >5% in CNS grade 2).
  • May have neuronal "islands" (Synapto +ve, NeuN +ve).

Molecular pathology

Combined losses of 1p and 19q both and presence of IDH1 mutation in codon 132 or IDH2 mutation in codon 172 is required for final diagnosis and is prognostic and therapeutic relevant:[15][16][17]

  • Greater chemosensitivity to PCV regimen.[18]
  • Better prognosis compared to astrocytic tumors.[19]
  • TERT promotor mutation present.
  • CDKN2A homozygoud deletion in <10% of grade 3 tumours.

Note: If molecular testing fails, cases should be classified as Oligodendroglioma, NOS.

DDx:

  • Neurocytoma also have perinuclear clearing and well-defined cellular borders.
    • Pineocytomatous/neurocytic rosettes = (irregular) rosette with a large meshwork of fibers (neuropil) at the centre.
  • Clear cell ependymoma.
  • Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour.
  • Oligodendroglial-like cells in Pilocytic astrocytoma.
  • Clear cell meningioma. (EMA +ve)
  • Clear cell renal carcinoma. (Pan-CK +ve)
  • Demyelinisation.
  • Astrocytoma
    • IDH-1 mutant, but non-codeleted tumors with oligodendrogliom histologye are no longer classified as oligodendrogliomas on molecular basis. These tumors are classified as IDH-mutant astrocytoma.
  • Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumour (1p/19q codeletion present, but IDH wildtype)

Note:

  • Consider Glioblastoma with oligo features when tumor is IDH1/2 wildtype and has no LOH 1p/19q and no ATRX loss.
  • Dual-genotype astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma are very rare.
