Descriptor glioma
Entry term(s) tumores de células gliales
Scope note: Neoplasias benignas y malignas del sistema nervioso central derivadas de las células gliales (es decir, astrocitos, oligodendrocitos y ependimocitos). Los astrocitos pueden dar lugar a los astrocitomas (ASTROCITOMA) o al glioblastoma multiforme (ver GLIOBLASTOMA). Los oligodendrocitos dan lugar a los oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) y los ependimocitos pueden sufrir una transformación y convertirse en ependimomas (EPENDIMOMA), NEOPLASIAS DEL PLEXO COROIDEO, o quistes coloides del tercer ventrículo.

Scope note: Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle. (From Escourolle et al., Manual of Basic Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p21)
