[主題詞] Glioma
[英文釋義] Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e.,astrocytes,oligodendrocytes,and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become ependymomas (EPENDYMOMA),CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS,or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
