SummaryWe report a case of oligodendroglioma showing marked neuronal differentiation, which arose in the right frontal lobe of a 46-year-old woman. The resected tumor was composed of a mixture of oligodendroglioma, gangliocytoma, and neurocytoma areas with predominance of gangliocytoma-like areas. The oligodendroglioma areas showed immunoreactivity for Olig2 and mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 protein, whereas the gangliocytoma and neurocytoma areas were positive for synaptophysin and NeuN. Ki-67 labeling index was approximately 5% to 10% in the oligodendroglioma areas. Molecular cytogenetic analyses demonstrated chromosomal losses of 1p and 19q and a mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (G395A, R132H) in both the oligodendroglioma and gangliocytoma areas. These data suggest that this tumor is an oligodendroglioma associated with prominent neuronal differentiation. There seems to be a close relationship between oligodendroglial progenitor cells and neuronal cells.
