Overview
Astrocytoma must be differentiated from other space occupying CNS lesions that cause neurological symptoms such as subependymal nodule, central neurocytoma, oligodendroglioma, intraventricular meningioma, intraventricular metastasis, medulloblastoma, sarcoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, choroid plexus carcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme.
Differential Diagnosis
- Subependymal nodule
- Central neurocytoma
- Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP)
- Choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC)
- Intraventricular meningioma
- Intraventricular metastasis
- Oligodendroglioma
- Intraventricular CNS lymphoma
- Medulloblastoma
- Primitive neuroectodermal tumor
- Sarcoma
- Intraventricular teratoma[1][2]
