A 35-year-old woman presented with visual hyperacuity and seizures. Radionuclide and CT scans revealed a frontal lobe mass lesion consistent with an astrocytoma. Subtotal removal was necessary due to proximity of the tumor to the motor strip. Initial histopatho logic interpretation was malignant glioma (astrocytoma Grade 2 or 3). Megavoltage irradiation was delivered to a midsagittal dose of 6300 rad in seven weeks. Subsequent review of the slides revealed the tumor to be a microcystic ganglioglioma. The patient is well five and one-half years after treatment. It is important to separate these low grade neoplasms from the more ominous astrocytomas in regard to prognosis after resection and irradiation.
一名35岁女性出现视力超常敏锐和癫痫发作。放射性核素和CT扫描显示额叶有一肿块病变，符合星形细胞瘤。由于肿瘤靠近运动区，需进行次全切除。最初的组织病理学诊断为恶性胶质瘤（2级或3级星形细胞瘤）。在七周内给予中矢状面6300拉德的兆伏级放疗。随后对切片的复查显示肿瘤为微囊性神经节细胞胶质瘤。患者在治疗后五年半情况良好。就切除和放疗后的预后而言，将这些低级别肿瘤与更凶险的星形细胞瘤区分开来很重要。
