The Mystery of Multiple Masses: A Case of Anaplastic Astrocytoma

Sethi, Pooja, Treece, Jennifer, Pai, Vandana, Onweni, Chidinma, Rahman, Zia, Singh, Siddharth 23 June 2017 (has links)
Though most primary brain gliomas present as a single mass lesion in the brain, this potential diagnosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis when faced with a case of multifocal brain mass lesions. Among the most common brain tumors in humans, glioblastomas can be classified into four classes, one of which consists of anaplastic astrocytomas (AA). Due to its significant malignant potential, a prompt stereotactic brain biopsy should be considered to allow for early diagnosis. Karyotypic analysis of the specimen may allow for the discovery of 1p12q and IDH132 gene mutations. This knowledge can be used to best determine prognosis and guide therapy.
