Coming soonDiffuse astrocytoma is an infiltrative, slow-growing primary central nervous system neoplasm arising from star-shaped glial cells known as astrocytes.
Most commonly diagnosed in young to middle-aged adults, it typically develops in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain but can affect other neuroaxial sites.
Pathophysiologically, it is historically classified as a low-grade (World Health Organization grade 2) glioma characterized by cellular atypia and ill-defined margins that invade adjacent neural parenchyma without significant necrosis or microvascular proliferation.
Patients frequently present with new-onset seizures, persistent headaches, or progressive focal neurological deficits, and the neoplasm carries an inherent tendency over time to recur or progress to higher-grade malignancies.
