Bilateral optic nerve astrocytoma in a patient with NF1. Note thickening of the optic nerves.

Astrocytoma of the optic nerve.

Meningioma

Meningioma

Meningiomas can be seen to invade bone and even muscle…does not mean it is malignant

Dark spots is speckled calcifications

meningioma
tumor cells are arranged in whorls with hyalinized and calcified centers that are called psammoma bodies

Pilocytic Astrocytoma, WHO I
Solid tumor w/in cyst- surgeon can trust margins, if it does recur usually just cystic component
Kids still have significant sequelle from surgery and large portion being removed

All of these are malignant astrocytes- very cellular

Glioblastoma, WHO IV astocytoma

Glioblastoma, WHO IV astrocytoma

glioblastoma, IV atrocytoma
High grade astrocytomas (glioblastomas) frequently have leaky vessels and the contrast goes into the viable areas - this one has hemorrhaged

glioblastoma, IV atrocytoma
High grade astrocytomas (glioblastomas) frequently have leaky vessels and the contrast goes into the viable areas.

Glioblastoma, WHO IV
the brown area is necrotic tissue

Glioblastoma, WHO IV

glioblastoma IV
Even more cellular then grade II
Sheets of pink are necrosis where tumor is outgrowing blood supply

Glioblastoma, WHO IV
Can see area of necrosis where tumor has outgrown blood supply

Classic medulloblastoma (the majority) is a highly cellular tumor composed of diffuse masses of small, undifferentiated oval or round cells.
