Astrocytoma Dedifferentiated

Astrocytoma dedifferentiated is a brain tumor formed from neurons as opposed to astrocytes. Glia are unsegmented and biochemically identical to histiocytes.

Astrocytoma is a tumor, a benign formation that develops from astrocytic glial cells. But there are also malignant astrocytomas - glioblastomas and anaplastic astrocytomas, which develop from transitional cells of intermediate neuroglia.

Among the most famous diseases of this type is Albers-Schönberg disease type 1 (ASD), also called pilocytic astrocytoma. Based on the type of GAS structure, two main variants can be distinguished: dedifferentiated and gangliogliomatous. In the first type, nodes from hippocampalcytic astrocytomas of the GAS begin to grow, against which multiple clusters of nigrones and carpal fibers appear. GAS are very dangerous as complications during treatment include facial paralysis due to perineural growths. GAS are highly aggressive and often metastasize.
