Desmoplastic Non-Infantile Ganglioglioma; An Incidental Finding with Unusual Localization by Dimitrios Kanakis*, Euripides Antoniou and Georgia Levidou in Techniques in Neurosurgery & Neurology
Desmoplastic non-infantile ganglioglioma (DNIG) is a rare tumor entity
and only a small number of cases have been published until now in the
literature. Although its infantile counterpart (desmoplastic infantile
ganglioglioma [DIG]) has been already recognized and included together
with
desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma (DIA) in the WHO Classification of
CNS tumors, DNIG has not been accepted as a distinct tumor entity. The
reason
for this is obviously the scarcity of the neoplasm and subsequently the
absence of substantial information regarding its pathogenesis and its
association
to the infantile form.
