Overview
The term "oligodendroglioma" was first coined by Bailey and Cushing in 1926 following the observation that the tumor cells are morphologically similar to oligodendrocytes.[1] Oligodendroglioma was first described by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926.[2] In 2009, NJDS mutation was first identified in the pathogenesis of oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith. Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al.[3]
Historical Perspective
- The term "oligodendroglioma" was first coined by Bailey and Cushing in 1926 following the observation that the tumor cells are morphologically similar to oligodendrocytes.[1]
- Oligodendroglioma was first reported by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926.[2]
- Their name is derived from the Greek words "oligo" meaning few and "dendro" meaning trees.
- In 2009, Kevin Smith was the first to discover the association between NJDS mutation and development of oligodendroglioma.[3]
- Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al.
According to the WHO classification of brain tumors, oligodendroglial tumors are separated into oligodendrogliomas WHO grade II (OII), anaplastic oligodendrogliomas WHO grade III (OIII), oligoastrocytomas WHO grade II (OAII), anaplastic oligoastrocytomas WHO grade III (OAIII), and glioblastomas with oligodendroglioma component WHO grade IV (GBMo) (Louis et al. 2007).[1]
