Pilomyxoid astrocytomas are a more aggressive variant of pilocytic astrocytoma. Over the last 14 years, there has been increasing evidence to suggest that these tumours are distinct pathological entities to pilocytic astrocytomas. Radiological features of these tumours are slowly emerging in the neuroradiological literature. We report a unique radiological appearance of a multicystic, disseminated astrocytoma with pilomyxoid characteristics presenting in a 4-year-old boy and highlight the importance of considering this diagnosis with similar imaging.
毛黏液样星形细胞瘤是毛细胞型星形细胞瘤中侵袭性更强的一种变体。在过去14年里，越来越多的证据表明，这些肿瘤与毛细胞型星形细胞瘤是不同的病理实体。这些肿瘤的放射学特征在神经放射学文献中逐渐显现。我们报告了一名4岁男孩出现的具有毛黏液样特征的多囊性、播散性星形细胞瘤的独特放射学表现，并强调在类似影像学表现时考虑这一诊断的重要性。
