MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SUBTENTORIAL TUMORS
Keywords:
The most characteristic feature of glial tumors is their invasive growth, during which their cells penetrate into the surrounding medulla to different depths and form a zone of infiltrative growthAbstract
The low incidence of astrocytomas of subtentorial localization in
adults is one of the main reasons that the clinical manifestations of these neoplasms
are little known [8]. The diagnosis of “cerebellar tumor” is established when the first
clinical symptoms appear. The most common symptoms accompanying a cerebellar
tumor are ataxia, headache and nausea [8]. Astrocytic tumors of subtentorial
localization are clinically and histologically heterogeneous. They can have
predominantly expansive (due to the cystic component) and invasive-infiltrative
growth. The tendency toward invasive growth is more pronounced in relapses, and
the tumor in such cases usually has a higher grade of malignancy. Due to the
heterogeneity of the tumor tissue structure, certain difficulties often arise when
diagnosing astrocytomas.
