Stereotactic biopsy was used to sample a hypodense lesion of the left temporo-occipital lobes in a 32-year-old female with a history of grand mal seizures. Although the intraoperative cytologic examination showed a picture suggestive of malignancy, including giant cells and atypical mitotic figures, the clinical and radiologic history militated against a malignant nature for the lesion, which was thus classified as a low-grade giant-cell astrocytoma. This case emphasizes both the utility of intraoperative cytologic examination of stereotactic biopsy specimens and the need to consider the cytologic and histologic evidence in light of the clinical and radiologic findings.
对一名有癫痫大发作病史的32岁女性，采用立体定向活检对左颞枕叶的一个低密度病变进行取样。尽管术中细胞学检查显示出提示恶性的表现，包括巨细胞和非典型有丝分裂象，但临床和影像学病史不支持该病变为恶性，因此将其归类为低级别巨细胞星形细胞瘤。该病例强调了立体定向活检标本术中细胞学检查的实用性，以及根据临床和影像学表现考虑细胞学和组织学证据的必要性。
