Background: Astroblastomas are rare glial tumors occuring in the supratentorial region of the brain. They constitute of 0.45%-2.8% of primary glial tumors. Case Report: A 21 year old male patient presented with tumor in the left frontal region which was totally excised. Microscopic examination showed features of low grade astroblastoma. Conclusion: Astroblastomas are rare glial tumors which need to be differentiated from ependymoma, papillary meningioma and glioblastoma with focal astroblastic pattern and IHC helps in diagnosis. The treatment advocated for low grade tumors is radical surgical excision. |
