| Popis: | Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) correspond to ∼ 23% of all oligodendrogliomas. They correspond to a tumor with malignant histological characteristics, focal or diffuse, associated with a worse prognosis. In the present case report, we describe the case of a 30-year-old female submitted to resection of a right parietal lesion whose histology showed to be an AO. She underwent complementary treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy according to the Roger Stupp protocol.

In the literature, we have found no similar published case reinforcing the rarity of this condition |
