Other Astrocytic Tumors
Gliomas with a more circumscribed growth pattern most frequently are pilocytic astrocytoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma and are categorized as other astrocytic tumors. Pilocytic astrocytomas, WHO grade I are low-

I am extremely pleased to present the first edition of “Neuropathology of Brain tumors with Radiologic Correlates.” Just over the last decade or so, the practice of neuropathology has undergone an extensive evolution far beyond traditional intraoperative consultation (crush smears and frozen section), histopathology, and immunohistochemistry (IHC), to include new molecular entities defined by massively parallel next-generation sequencing (NGS). Further advances in companion diagnostics, prognostic and therapeutic markers continue to be made. This was reflected in the most recent WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system (2016). I have been fortunate to receive brain tumors regularly as a part of intraoperative consultation and surgical pathology for the past several years. Over the years, my collection of brain tumors has continued to accumulate in my practice located in South-Western Maharashtra, India. Frozen sections are not avalaible at all the laboratory setups. In the earlier peroid of my practice, I did crush smear cytology for intraoperative consultation. At inception, this was planned to be an atlas of intraoperative cytology alone but I realized very early on that this was an opportunity to present an integrated profile of b
