摘要: Gemistocytic astrocytomas (GAs) are a distinct variant of astrocytomas, generally classified as WHO grade II, and associated with an aggressive biological behavior. This study was undertaken to determine the histomorphological spectrum, correlate these their proliferative potential genetic alterations, in order establish basis for unfavorable prognosis.
