Pilocytic astrocytoma, light micrograph. Pilocytic astrocytomas make up only about 2% of primary CNS tumours overall, but they are the most common glioma in children. Vast majority of them (almost 85%) involve cerebellum. Other commonly involved sites include the brain stem, hypothalamus, and optic chiasma. This low power view shows the classic biphasic appearance with cellular areas alternating with hypocellular, microcystic areas. | |
