Abstract
A multicentric neuronal tumor of brain with unique morphologic features is described. It is compared with four other markedly anaplastic brain tumors containing neoplastic neurons. Demonstration of axon processes, which must be carefully distinguished from other similarly stained structures, is essential for the recognition of such tumors. Recent experience suggests that anaplastic neuronal tumors are more frequent than is generally realized. It is suggested that axon stains should be more widely employed in the investigation of atypical or highly pleomorphic gliomas.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
