  Molecular analysis using 17 microsatellite markers on chromosomes 9, 10, 11, 17, 19, and 22 showed loss of heterozygosity at the D19S412 locus on the long arm of chromsome 19. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Case Description: We present the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with headache, motor symptoms, and seizures few days before she was admitted to our institution. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

• Throbbing Headache

  headache or nausea for the patient. [en.wikipedia.org]

Full pathologic workup later revealed the patient had two distinct tumors occurring simultaneously, anaplastic astrocytoma and astroblastoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Afterwards, metastatic workup of the patient including x-ray chest and ultrasound abdomen and pelvis did not revealed any spread of the disease. [synapse.koreamed.org]

• Karyotype Abnormal

  Further cytogenetic studies will also help to identify if there are consistent karyotypic abnormalities in these enigmatic tumors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Foam cells were frequently infiltrated around blood vessels and among tumor cells. In some areas, a solid growth pattern of plump tumor cells with abundant inclusion-like eosinophilic cytoplasm showing rhabdoid appearance was observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chemotherapy is the preferred secondary treatment after resection. The treatment kills astroblastoma cells left behind after surgery and induces a non-dividing, benign state for remaining tumor cells. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis, however, sometimes is in contradiction with the pathological appearance and seems to be more closely related to the grade of surgical resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis of astroblastoma has not been characterized, though the presence of high-grade features is thought to be a poor prognostic finding. [prod.wiki.cns.org]

[…] most commonly include headaches and seizures Because these tumors are rare, there is little known regarding their behavior and how they should be managed Gross total resection (complete removal) of the tumor is recommended and is associated with a good prognosis [dovemed.com]

Hemorrhagic appearance is not uncommon; there are three reported cases in which radiologic presentation was confused with vascular etiologies because the initial presentation was acute hemorrhage.[ 1 22 31 ] Differential diagnoses in imaging are ependymoma [surgicalneurologyint.com]
