Malignant intracranial fibrous histiocytomas. Histologic, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies of two cases. 1986

A A Sima, and R T Ross, and G Hoag, and B Rozdilsky, and M Diocee

Two cases of malignant intracranial fibrous histiocytoma are presented. In Case 1 the tumour arose from the meninges and showed a disseminated spread throughout the neuroaxis. In the second case the tumour appeared to arise from within the brain substance. In this case surgical intervention and radiotherapy appeared to have achieved a cure, since no residual tumour was found at autopsy. The tumours were examined using ultrastructural and immunohistochemical techniques, which appeared advantageous in delineating this rare tumour from other intracranial neoplasms.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
