A molecularly defined diffusely infiltrating glioma with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and codeletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q<ref name=":0">WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board.

Oligodendrogliomas are graded morphologically as either CNS WHO grade 2 or CNS WHO grade 3.
 
In rare cases where molecular studies are unable to be completed or have failed, tumors can be histologically diagnosed as Oligodendroglioma, NOS (not otherwise specified).
 
==Synonyms / Terminology==
 
Anaplastic oligodendroglioma (historical; now known as oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, CNS WHO grade 3).


Oligoastrocytoma (discouraged; oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma are molecularly distinct entities. The diagnosis is reserved for rare cases where a dual genotype is identified, or where molecular testing could not be completed).
==Epidemiology / Prevalence==
-         Epidemiological statistics should be interpreted with caution as oligodendroglioma is now molecularly defined
*  A subset of tumor historically diagnosed as oligodendroglioma on morphological grounds may therefore not meet current definition

The <u>clinical features</u> of this disease are detailed below:


Signs and symptoms -
Oligodendrogliomas are most often low-grade, slow growing tumors


Laboratory findings -

*Signs and symptoms - Seizures<ref name=":4" />; Headache; Signs of increased intracranial pressure (Focal neurologic deficits, Cognitive changes); Asymptomatic (increasingly an incidental finding on neuroimaging<ref name=":4" />)

The <u>sites of involvement</u> of this disease are detailed below:
The <u>sites of involvement</u> of this disease are detailed below:


*Approximately 60% of oligodendrogliomas occur within the frontal lobes with
**14-16% in the temporal lobe
**10-15% in the parietal lobe
**1-6% in the occipital lobe
**Less commonly basal ganglia / cerebellum brainstem
*Leptomeningeal spread and gliomatosis cerebri pattern can rarely occur
*Rare spinal lesions have been reported but lack genotyping to confirm true oligodendroglioma
*Extracranial metastasis exceedingly rare (CNS WHO grade 3)


The <u>morphologic features</u> of this disease are detailed below:
The <u>morphologic features</u> of this disease are detailed below:


*Classically consist of cells with round, monomorphous nuclei with stippled chromatin and perinuclear halos (artifactual fried-egg appearance)
**Intervening delicate “chicken wire” vasculature
**Can contain GFAP-positive minigemistocytes
**Often contain microcalcifications, especially in low-grade tumors<ref name=":0" />
