Grade 2 oligodendroglioma. Stam The Problems of Pathological Diagnosis 25 dendrogliomas can transform into glioblastomas. The WHO classification (1979) also distinguishes anaplastic oligodendrogliomas and oligodendrogliomas with areas of anaplasia. from glioblastomas. This type of oligodendrogliogenic glioblastoma corresponds histologically to grade 4 tumours for the simple reason that glioblastomas do so. Between the typical oligodendrogliomas and these oligodendrogliogenic glioblastomas a transitional type can be distinguished.
Davis et al. (1985), however, have clearly demonstrated that despite a well-differentiated appearance these ependymomas may occasionally spread to other parts of the central nervous system and even to extracranial organs. Ependymomas with subependymoma-like features are characterized by rows and nests of cells forming rhythmic arrangements. In some cases the tumour may be made up almost entirely of these structures while in others the tumour also contains more typical areas (Liu et al. 1976). A very peculiar type is the subcutaneous sacrococcygeal ependymoma arisiJ;lg from heterotopic ependymal rests.
1988), who found no association between grade and surVival in infratentorialastrocytomas, while in supratentorial astrocytomas survival was strongly associated with grade. Therefore, in clinical studies supratentorial astrocytomas and infratentorial astrocytomas must be considered separately. When cerebellar astrocytomas are excluded, a marked decrease in survival in astrocytomas of Kernohan's grades 1 and 2 results, as reported by Daumas-Duport et al. (1988). Results from studies of astrocytomas without exclusion of the cerebellar types are useless.
