Overview
Oligodendroglioma must be differentiated from pilocytic astrocytoma, central neurocytoma, ependymoma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, meningioma, cerebral metastasis, brain abscess, tuberculoma, sarcoidosis, neurocysticercosis, multiple myeloma, primary CNS lymphoma, cerebral toxoplasmosis, germ cell tumor, ganglioglioma, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, herpes simplex encephalitis, stroke, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, and epilepsy.[1][2][3][4]
