Cytogenetic Analysis of Gemistocytic Cells in Gliomas [PDF]
Gemistocytes are glial cells characterized by voluminous, eosinophilic cytoplasm and a peripherally positioned, often flattened nucleus. Gemistocytes, usually present in anoxic-ischemic brains, are regularly encountered in glial neoplasms. The presence of gemistocytes in gliomas has been associated with an unfavorable clinical course, notwithstanding ...

Cytogenetic analysis of meningiomas [PDF]
Cytogenetic analysis of 4 cases of meningiomas from 3 male and 1 female patients is reported. One of male patients suffered from neurofibromatosis type 2. Histologically, the meningiomas were meningotheliomatous (1), transitional (2), and psammomatous (1). Chromosomal abnormalities were found in all cases with a karyotype 45,XY,-22, 45,XY,-16, 45,XX,-2,
