Preferred Label : glioma;
Definition : Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e.,
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas
(astrocytoma) or glioblastoma multiforme (see glioblastoma). Oligodendrocytes give
rise to oligodendrogliomas (oligodendroglioma) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation
to become ependymoma; choroid plexus neoplasms; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
