Desmoplastic supratentorial neuroepithelial tumours of infancy

W Paulus et al. Histopathology. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

The clinicopathological features of two infants with desmoplastic supratentorial neuroepithelial tumours are described. The cases were similar to the 26 cases reported previously as desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma and superficial cerebral astrocytoma attached to dura. Neuronal differentiation was absent on routine stains, but was immunohistochemically established. We review the literature and suggest classifying this clinicopathological entity by using a general designation such as desmoplastic supratentorial neuroepithelial tumours of infancy, a term which indicates the variability in the amount and lines of differentiation.
