For predicting
glial tumor, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive level, negative predictive level, and the accuracy of the cutoff value for ATRX mutation, p53 mutation, and 1p/19q codeletion are indicated in Table 3.
The histopathological diagnosis of the patients who underwent biopsy due to cerebral intraparenchymal mass was reported as stage IV
glial tumor in 14 patients, stage III
glial tumor in 1 patient and stage II diffuse
glial tumor in 2 patients.
In these locations, schwannomas can resemble other more common intra-axial cystic neoplasms including pilocytic astrocytoma, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma [7], meningioma if near a centrally located nerve root [9, 10, 13, 14], or less commonly a high-grade
glial tumor [11].

It is a rare
glial tumor that usually appears submucosally as a pedunculated mass in the midline, attached to the nasal septum.
GP is often mixed with GTS series despite this being a separate entity [13] because it is defined by pure mature
glial tumor tissue in the peritoneum [29-31] and is encountered in a variety of clinical scenarios [29, 32, 33].
The discovery of an IDH mutation or H3 mutation in a
glial tumor argues strongly against the diagnosis of a poorly infiltrative glioma.
The lesion, despite some similarities (clusters of voluminous neurons with thick bundles of nerve cell processes) is completely different from a tumoral ganglioneuroma or a cerebellar ganglioglioma in which variable architecture discloses proliferation of both abnormal neurons and
glial tumor cells.
Although they are the most common intramedullary
glial tumor in adults, ependymomas are the second most common spinal cord neoplasms in children.
Synaptophysin or neuron-specific enolase positivity on immunohistochemistry, or the presence of typical or abortive synapses, neurosecretory granules or neuritic processes on ultrastructural examination, demonstrate the neuronal lineage of the tumor cells, not found in
glial tumor and support the diagnosis of CN (p.
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study
glial tumors are most frequent neoplasm and Ashocytoma is the most common
glial tumor reported.
