Scope note: Forma maligna de astrocitoma caracterizada histológicamente por pleomorfismo de las células, atipia nuclear, microhemorragias y necrosis. Puede surgir en cualquier región del sistema nervioso central, con predilección por los hemisferios cerebrales, los ganglios basales y las vías comisurales. Lo más frecuente es que debute clínicamente en la quinta o sexta década de la vida con signos neurológicos focales o convulsiones.

Scope note: A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.
