Pilocytic astrocytoma is a WHO grade I tumor usually diagnosed in pediatric patients, and rarely encountered in the adult population. Therefore, available information about the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of adult pilocytic astrocytoma is scarce. We report on the MRI features and corresponding histopathologic findings of six consecutive aPA cases diagnosed. The tumors were encountered in both infra- and supratentorial compartments, and their MRI characteristics were quite heterogeneous. Features included the typical solid-cystic appearance located in the cerebellum as well as the relatively unusual multifocal and/or hemorrhagic features located intra-ventricularly. The aPA MRI characteristics are remarkably variable, and might mimic those of higher grade tumors in adult patients. |
