A cervicomedullary tumor in a 22-month-old female with an eight-month history of symptoms showed the histological features of a pilocytic astrocytoma but had many areas of palisading cells identical to those described in polar spongioblastomas. The tumor recurred 18 months later and showed predominately pilocytic features. The case is used to discuss polar spongioblastomas and tumors which can histologically simulate them.
一名22个月大的女性患有延髓颈髓肿瘤,有8个月的症状史,其组织学特征为毛细胞型星形细胞瘤,但有许多呈栅栏状排列的细胞区域,与极地海绵母细胞瘤中描述的区域相同。肿瘤在18个月后复发,主要表现为毛细胞型特征。本文通过该病例讨论极地海绵母细胞瘤以及在组织学上可模拟它们的肿瘤。
