Abstract
In this report, we examine the case of a 6-year-old girl with a mixed oligo dendroglioma demonstrating uncommon neuroradiological images. CT and MR sho wed an intratemporal mass with multilocular cystic formation and intratumor al massive calcification, suggestive either of astrocytoma, dysembryoplasti c neuroepithelial tumor, or ganglioglioma as a presumptive differential dia gnosis. The tumor was almost completely removed. Post-operative histologica l examination revealed a mixed oligodendroglioma with a small component of astrocytoma. The combination of radiotherapy and chemical treatment was sup plemented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
