Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, case series and review of literature by Farrag Mohammad, Ahmed Abd Essattar Abd Elhakeem, Ahmad Algheriany, Ahmed Elshanawany

“…Diffusion-weighted imaging technology can be used to differentiate between grade 2 and grade 3 Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma preoperatively but further studies on larger samples are needed to confirm the possibility. Mitotic count is the main parameter used to differentiate Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma grade 2 and grade 3, but immunohistochemistry can play a role in that in the future.…”
