Full Description
This publication is focused on neuronal and glioneuronal tumors of the central nervous system. Overall, these lesions are much less commonly encountered than their glioma counterparts. In the last 4 decades, the number of lesions that have been newly recognized as distinct entities in this arena has grown tremendously, due to the use of immunohistochemistry and most recently molecular studies. As a group, these tumors are important to distinguish from their glioma counterparts in that many of them have a better prognosis. This book will explore the clinical and pathologic features of these entities, including some of the recent molecular findings that have been discovered in some of these neoplasms.
