Granular Cell Astrocytoma

Preferred Label : Granular Cell Astrocytoma;

NCIt definition : An astrocytoma characterized by the presence of large numbers of neoplastic cells with granular, PAS-positive cytoplasm. It is associated with an aggressive clinical course, even when the histologic features suggest a lower-grade astrocytoma.;

Neoplastic status : Undetermined;
