The histopathology of subependymomas is distinct comprising of a tumor arising from the subependymal glial layer with low cellularity and no high-grade features (no mitoses, Ki-67/MIBI index <1.5%, no necrosis). If appearances are characteristic and the patient is asymptomatic, then follow up is a viable option. [1] It is most commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Although it is a low-grade tumor, its location can potentially obstruct the ventricles and lead to hydrocephalus. Size is the most important distinguishing feature compared to subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Surrounding vasogenic edema is usually absent. It is most commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Ragel BT, Osborn AG, Whang K et-al. giant cell astrocytoma and pilocytic astrocytoma, but no uptake in cases of subependymoma. Occasionally foci of cellular ependymoma are seen, although the effect on clinical behavior is unclear 4-5. Young children who have tuberous sclerosis may be offered to screen because of the increased risk of developing subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. The cells that appear astrocytic, usually resemble gemistocytes; large polygonal cells with prominent eosinophilic cytoplasm. Long-term survival can be expected, although poorly defined borders are an independent predictor of shorter PFS. Subependymal nodule Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma Cardiac rhabdomyoma, single or multiple Lymphangiomatosis Renal angiomyolipoma Minor features. Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a slow‐growing tumor originating in the walls of the lateral ventricles, usually presenting in the first two decades of life, and is often associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. Case 5: subependymoma / ependymoma mixed tumor, lateral ventricles (usually frontal horns): 30-40%, generally homogeneous but may be heterogeneous in larger lesions, hyperintense to adjacent white and grey matter, again heterogeneity may be seen in larger lesions, occasionally with susceptibility related signal drop out due to calcifications, no adjacent parenchymal edema (as no brain invasion is present), usually no enhancement, although at times may demonstrate mild enhancement, in adults more common in the 4th ventricle, particularly if close to the septum pellucidum, typically seen in younger patients (20-40 years of age). However, few cases of SEGA without any clinical features of tuberous sclerosis complex have been reported. There is a slight male predilection (M:F 2.3:1) 6,8. In some cases, especially when the tumors are larger, presentation is with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure due to obstructive hydrocephalus.

Subependymomas are uncommon, benign (WHO grade I) tumors which are slow growing and non-invasive. The salient features of subependymoma are described with emphasis on the microscopic picture and distinction from subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, as the tumour harboured large, bizarre astrocytes. The histopathology of subependymomas is distinct comprising of a tumour arising from the subependymal glial layer with low cellularity and no high-grade features (no mitoses, Ki-67/MIBI index > 1.5%, no necrosis). Tumors of the pediatric central nervous system. Unlike ependymomas, EMA is usually negative 8. The main treatment is surgery, which is indicated if a tumor is symptomatic, or growth is demonstrated on MRI. In the clinical context of known tuberous sclerosis, the appearance is virtually pathognomonic, and the main differential is between a subependymal nodule and a subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. AJR Am J Roentgenol. They are therefore in the differential for other intraventricular masses. However, some authors think that the subependymoma has an ultrastructural appearance similar to that of ependymoma and astrocytoma (10, 13). Informa HealthCare. 1995;165 (5): 1245-50.

A case of solitary subependymal giant cell astrocytoma: two somatic hits of TSC2 in the tumor, without evidence of somatic mosaicism. They are principally diagnosed in patients under 20 years of age, only occasionally found in older individuals. This lesion is larger than should be seen for other subependymal nodules in tuberous sclerosis. As expected from the histology, subependymomas show no or little vascularity 6. Oral sirolimus has also been trialled 3. Morantz RA, Walsh JW. Although they are almost exclusively encountered in the setting of tuberous sclerosis, case reports of isolated subependymal giant cell astrocytomas in individuals with no other stigmata of tuberous sclerosis are available 9. oligodendroglioma, ependymoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, meningioma, choroid plexus tumors, subependymoma, lymphoma, and metastasis.

He concluded that subependymomas were a separate entity from ependymomas and astrocytomas but that they arose from the ependymal glial precursor cells in the subependymal cell layer. They are also considered by some to be variants of ependymomas, with which they may co-exist (see below). 4. Subependymal giant-cell astrocytomas have the potential for rapid growth; asymptomatic lesions can grow large enough to obstruct the foramen of Monro in as little as 18 months. A mass in the fourth ventricle. Surgery is the standard treatment for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Oncology of CNS Tumors. These lesions are hypovascular. The ependymal lining over subependymal giant cell astrocytomas remains intact making CSF seeding highly unlikely 7. Subependymomas are most commonly seen in the fourth ventricle, but can arise anywhere where there is ependyma. Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SGCAs or alternatively SEGAs) are benign tumors (WHO grade I), seen almost exclusively in young patients with tuberous sclerosis. The mean age at the time of tumor diagnosis was 9.4 years (range, 1.5 to 21 years). Check for errors and try again. 7. ...

We present 19 patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. 1. Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas are believed to arise from a subependymal nodule present in the ventricular wall in a patient with tuberous sclerosis, although this has yet to be categorically established 4,8. - Astrocytoma - Subependymoma - Germinoma - Choroid plexus tumor - Hamartoma Diagnosis: Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma Key points Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas are seen as an enhancing intraventricular mass in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex. They are graded according to the ependymoma component and not surprisingly behave similarly to the higher grade (ependymoma) component 6,8. Unable to process the form. Typically patients are asymptomatic and small lesions are discovered incidentally. Chiechi MV, Smirniotopoulos JG, Jones RV. Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA, SGCA, or SGCT) is a low-grade astrocytic brain tumor (astrocytoma) that arises within the ventricles of the brain. Histologically, subependymal nodules and subependymal giant cell tumors are essentially indistinguishable, and the distinction lies in the potential for growth and mass effect 5. Subependymal giant-cell astrocytomas have the potential for rapid growth; asymptomatic lesions can grow large enough to obstruct the foramen of Monro in as little as 18 months.
