(a) Axial T1 postcontrast MR image shows a mass with mixed signal intensity, centred in the body of the right lateral ventricle. (b) Photomicrograph shows tumour tissue composed of cells arranged in sheets (Haematoxylin & eosin, × 200). Scattered perivascular pseudorosettes are observed within the sheets of cells. The cell nuclei surrounding the central vessels are oriented away from the vessels. No definite ependymal rosettes or canals are seen. Mitotic rate is less than one per ten high power fields. No necrosis or microvascular proliferation is identified. (c) Photomicrograph shows diffuse strong immunostaining for glial fibrillary acid (GFAP) protein, a glial marker (GFAP, × 200). (d) Photomicrograph shows diffuse moderate staining for synaptophysin, a neuronal marker (synaptophysin, × 200).
