Abstract

Astroblastoma is a rare glial tumor with uncertain histopathological origin and unpredictable clinical behavior. In this report, the authors present two cases of high grade intracerebral astroblastomas. Both tumors occurred in children as supratentorial, well-circumscribed, peripheral masses. The lesions differed radigraphically; one contained a huge cystic component and heterogeneously enhancing mural nodule while the other appeared as a prominently contrastenhancing solid mass lesion. Both patients were treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. They were followed-up long-term and no recurrence of the tumor was detected in either case. We also discussed the radiological and histological characteristics with prognostic features.

Özet

Astroblastom, histopatolojik kaynağı belli olmayan ve klinik gidişatı tam olarak öngörülemeyen nadir bir glial tümördür. Bu yazıda, yüksek dereceli iki intraserebral astroblastom olgusu sunulmuştur. Her iki tümor olgusu da, çocuk yaşta, supratentoryal, iyi sınırlı, periferik yerleşimli kitle şeklinde görülmüştür. Lezyonlar farklı radyolojik bulgular göstermiştir: İlk olguda büyük kistik bir bölüm ile heterojen kontrast tutan mural nodül görülürken, ikinci olguda belirgin kontrast tutan solid kitle tespit edilmiştir. Her iki hasta cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmiş ve postoperatif dönemde hastalara radyoterapi uygulanmıştır. Olgular uzun dönem takip edilmiştir ve iki vakada da nüks ile karşılaşılmamıştır. Ayrıca, tümörün radyolojik ve histolojik özellikleri ile prognostik değerleri tartışılmıştır.
