The cytohistologic correlation is reported for 112 of the 128 consecutive sterotactic aspiration biopsies performed on patients with clinical and neuroradiologic evidence of brain tumors investigated at the Neurosurgery Department, Karolinska Hospital, from 1976 to 1979. The cytodiagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant tumors was 87% when adequate cell material was obtained. In 17 benign tumors of the sellar region, the diagnostic rate was 88%; cytologic examination independent of histologic biopsy is feasible in this area. The cytodiagnostic accuracy for 95 malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors was 87% after adjusting for the appreciable sampling error inherent in the use of a stereotactic procedure during the early phase of the study. Two histopathologically proven infectious lesions were reported cytologically as benign. The main microscopic problems were the recognition of highly differentiated astroglial neoplasms and the differential diagnosis between poorly differentiated brain neoplasms and metastases to the CNS. Cytodiagnostic accuracy of CNS tumors can be increased by technical improvements in the stereotactic device, diagnostic experience and immunochemical staining. 相似文献

A series of 14 cryptic vascular malformations (CVM) deeply situated or localized in functional cortical areas were diagnosed by serial stereotactic biopsies. No history was suggestive of hemorrhage, despite a substantial hematoma being evacuated during biopsy procedures in 4 patients. Retrospectively, CVM without hematoma were found to have certain characteristics that should raise the suspicion as to the correct diagnosis. At the time of discharge from the hospital, only 1 patient had mild aggravation of a preexisting motor deficit, which further improved. Serial stereotactic biopsies provided the required histological diagnosis with relatively low risk. 相似文献

The authors report their results of 37 patients with low malignancy brain tumors seated in deep or highly functional areas not amenable to traditional surgery, nor to conventional radiochemotherapy. In the past 5 years these patients were treated by means of stereotactic interstitial radiotherapy. The isotope employed in all cases was 125I. Stereotactic radioisotope implants were always preceded by multiple stereotactic biopsies affording precise histological diagnoses. A 6-month to 5-year follow-up shows a survival rate of 72.6% (29 patients), and of these patients, 80.9% (26 out of 29) had complete social reentry. 相似文献

The use of a computer program that allows the integration of stereotactically gathered CT, MRI and digital angiographic data in the planning of a biopsy trajectory is described. This system has been used to perform 447 stereotactic biopsies in 439 patients. Intracranial hemorrhages occurred in three patients; combined morbidity and mortality was less than 1%. Incorporation of angiographic data and visualization of the surgical trajectory enhances the safety and accuracy of stereotactic biopsy of intracranial lesions. 相似文献

The authors present their experience with stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors. Biopsies were obtained sequentially at different depths from the center of the tumor according to coordinates derived from computerized tomography (CT). Biopsies were obtained from 23 brain tumors: 17 gliomas, 5 metastases, and 1 lymphoma. In all a total of 137 biopsies were studied from both enhancing and nonenhancing areas. The tumor yield from these biopsies was 68 and 73%, respectively. It appears that tumor tissue may be obtained from both the enhancing periphery as well as the nonenhancing center of tumors. 相似文献

A definitive pathoanatomic diagnosis was achieved in 14 biopsies of deep cerebral tumors in which the Laitinen CT adapter was utilized. In 5 patients, a third-ventricular colloid cyst was aspirated or resected by stereotactic endoscopy, with excellent results after a mean follow-up time of 2.5 years. Several instruments, including a diagnostic ultrasound probe, an ultrasonic aspirator, a combination laser and an endoscope can be used stereotactically when mounted on a special instrument carrier. Integration of the Laitinen stereotactic device and the CT adapter was developed to allow noninvasive stereotactic radiotherapy in a conventional fractionation schedule by a standard linear accelerator. Technical experiences using this radiosurgical system in over 30 sessions for treating inoperable cerebral arteriovenous malformations are promising, but the follow-up time is too short for evaluating the clinical effect. 相似文献

Benign and atypical meningioma metabolic signatures by high-resolution magic-angle spinning molecular profiling 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Meningiomas are neoplasms that arise from the leptomeningeal covering of the brain and spinal cord, accounting for 15%-20% of CNS tumors. The WHO classifies meningiomas into three histological grades: benign, atypical, and anaplasic in accordance with the clinical prognosis. Atypical and anaplasic meningiomas tend to recur. Sometimes, meningiomas with histological diagnosis of benign meningioma show clinical characteristics of atypical meningioma. In this context, high-resolution magic-angle spinning (HR-MAS) spectroscopy of intact tissue from brain tumor biopsies has shown great potential as a support diagnostic tool. In this work, we show differences between benign and atypical meningiomas in HR-MAS molecular profiles of meningioma biopsies. Metabolic differences between meningioma grades include changes in the levels of glutathione. Glutathione role in cancer is still unclear, as it may act both as protective and pathogenic factor. Glutamine and glutamate, which are related to glutathione metabolism and have been associated with tumor recurrence, are also increased in atypical meningiomas. Other metabolites associated with tumor malignancy that show statistically significant differences between benign and atypical meningiomas include phosphocholine and phosphoethanolamine. Overall, this work suggests that the additional information obtained by NMR metabolomics applied to biopsies of human meningiomas may be useful for assessing tumor grade and determining optimum treatment strategies. 相似文献

Cytological smears from 115 consecutive cases of stereotactic biopsies of intracranial lesions were reviewed. Ninety-five lesions were solid and 20 cystic. Material from 90 solid and 13 cystic lesions was sent both for cytological and histological examination. In 66 of the solid lesions, the cytological diagnosis was confirmed by histology (five were benign lesions and 61 malignant tumours: 56 primary brain tumours, three metastases and two lymphomas). In 24 cases with discrepant cytology and histology, the histology was inconclusive or insufficient in 14 cases, while cytology established the diagnosis of astrocytoma grade II (seven cases), metastases (two cases), gliosis (one case) and benign (four cases). Necrosis of tumour type was observed cytologically in six patients representing glioblastoma (two cases), anaplastic astrocytoma (one case), lymphoma (one case) and normal brain (two cases) histologically. Three cases reported cytologically as benign were primary brain tumour (two cases) and gliosis (one case). One smear of a glioblastoma was insufficient for cytological diagnosis. Cystic lesions were cytologically benign in 17 cases and malignant in three cases. Histology from the cyst wall confirmed the malignant diagnosis in three cases and showed tumour in six more cases, a benign process (two cases), changes induced by radiotherapy for arteriovenous malformation (one case) and insufficient material (one case). In conclusion, cytology from solid brain lesion allows an accurate diagnosis and subtyping of tumours in a majority of cases, and can thus be used to choose type of therapy. In cystic brain tumours, however, examination of the cystic fluid, is often inconclusive and a biopsy from the cyst wall should be performed if there is clinical or radiological suspicion of tumour. 相似文献

CT-guided stereotactic biopsy of lower brain stem lesions in 7 consecutive cases is discussed. A frontal transincisural approach was used. Five patients had astrocytomas histologically. The single patient who had undergone empirical radiation therapy prior to tissue diagnosis revealed only necrosis. One patient was found to have pathology suggestive of Leigh's disease. This patient was not radiated and is the first alive adult to have this diagnosis confirmed. Although controversy still exists in the management of brain stem lesions, we intend to demonstrate the value of tissue diagnosis in the management of such lesions. 相似文献

This report describes a system for incorporation of stereotactic CT scanning data, stereotactic arteriographic data and a computer-generated stereotactic atlas into a three-dimensional matrix utilizing an operating room computer. 86 patients have undergone computer-assisted stereotactic biopsies of intracranial lesions without mortality or neurologic morbidity. Neuroablative and neuroaugmentative procedures have been performed on 5 patients using the CT stereotactic atlas with good correlation with target points determined by ventriculography and microelectrode recording. 相似文献

The rat 9L gliosarcoma brain tumour model has been widely used in brain cancer studies. Intracerebral implantation of the cells in the parietal lobe of the brain has been performed using the stereotactic or freehand inoculation methods. For large numbers of rats, we wished to develop a method more accurate and precise than the freehand method, but less labour intensive than the stereotactic method. A template implantation technique was developed and compared quantitatively with the stereotactic method. Rats were inoculated with either the template or stereotactic method at doses of 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000 or 40000 cells. Results of this comparison showed that the template method is precise and accurate for tumour placement within the brain cortex, and decreases labour requirements. Mean survival rates between groups were not significantly different at doses of 5000, 20000 or 40000 cells inoculated. Significance was seen at the low dose of 1000 cells (P < 0.001). This was attributable to an absence of tumour growth in five of six stereotactic rats in this group. Significance was also seen at the 10000 dose level (P < 0.05) with the stereotactic rats again surviving longer than the template rats. However, in this case all the stereotactic rats had tumour growth. Brain weights did not differ significantly between groups, except at the 1000 dose level where no growth of tumour occurred in five of the six stereotactic animals. Body weight gain within one week following surgery did not differ significantly between any of the groups at alpha = 0.05. Studies on rat cadavers showed no statistical difference in placement measurements between the stereotactic and template methods. These results indicate that the template method for intracerebrally implanting tumour cells in rats provides a precise, accurate and rapid procedure that maximizes reproducibility with a significant reduction in labour requirements, when compared with the conventional stereotactic methodology. 相似文献

A way of coeliac disease diagnosis was assessed in 348 children, Only 14% of patients has been examined according to ESPGAN recommendations and in the proper time. Diagnosis has been completed in 123 patients, and coeliac disease has been diagnosed only in 38 of them. The I biopsy has not been performed in 96 children, the II biopsy--in 136 children, gluten-free diet has not been observed in 105 children after the I biopsy. Other causes of diagnostic failures included: prolongation of the consecutive stages and improper histological evaluation, change of biopsies order, erroneous clinical evaluation. Diagnosis according to ESPGAN recommendations is practically very difficult and time consuming. Immunological markers of coeliac disease (IgA EmA, ARA) should lead to simplification and adjustment of those recommendations in Poland. 相似文献

Fifty-six brain tumors of neuroectodermal origin were sampled by computed tomographic stereotactic needle biopsy. Crush preparations prepared from tiny tissue fragments displayed distinctive cytologic characteristics of different tumor types in 77% of the cases. The adjunctival value of crush preparations to frozen section diagnosis is discussed, and the cytologic features of different types of neuroectodermal brain tumors in crush preparations are illustrated. 相似文献

A stereotactic system has been designed based upon a series of interlocking discs secured to the skull with self-tapping screws. Unlike previous skull-mounted systems, this system is a true, advanced imaging based stereotactic device with the capabilities and accuracy of more traditional, frame based devices. It has been used in a range of applications, from simple biopsies to interstitial radiation implant procedures. Well tolerated by the patient, it allows reaccess to the intracranial target without rescanning. It is convenient for the physician to utilize, both mechanically and timewise, is adaptable to MRI, DSA, and conventional X-ray techniques without modification, and is affordable. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and current role of intraoperative cytologic smears of central nervous system tumors. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of 4,172 patients operated on during 1985-1999, with 3,541 intraoperative smears performed during open procedures and 631 during stereotactic biopsies. RESULTS: Complete correlation with the final diagnosis was achieved in a mean of 89.8% (range, 83-93.7% per year). Diagnostic accuracy increased to 95% on average (range, 91.5-96.7% per year) when cases of partial correlation, mainly due to grading deviations, were included. The most accurate intraoperative diagnoses were obtained in cases of meningioma (97.9%), metastasis (96.3%) and glioblastoma (95.7%). A significant reduction in diagnostic accuracy was observed in cases of oligodendroglioma (80.9%) and ependymoma (77.7%). Besides diagnosis and grading, smear cytology provided resection guidance in cases of well-delineated tumors. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative smears in neurosurgery are easy to obtain and inexpensive and have high diagnostic accuracy. In addition to stereotactic biopsy procedures, intraoperative smears permit reliable intraoperative guidance during lesion targeting and resection. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid metastasizes to the brain in rare instances. In published series and case reports of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma, diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) metastases has been determined by histologic methods. We present a case of papillary carcinoma metastatic to brain diagnosed by cytologic methods. CASE: A 43-year-old female, initially diagnosed at age 12 with papillary carcinoma of the thyroid metastatic to regional lymph nodes and lung, presented with head aches of increasing frequency and severity. A computed tomography scan confirmed a 1-cm nodule in the right inferior frontal lobe of the brain. For clinical reasons, the patient was followed with serial imaging for five years. At age 48 there was significant progression of the CNS disease, and the patient underwent stereotactic biopsy with drainage of cyst fluid. Cytologic examination of the cyst fluid and immunocytochemical studies confirmed the typical features of papillary thyroid carcinoma, including papillary clusters of cells with finely granular chromatin, micronucleoli, nuclear grooves and an associated psammoma body. CONCLUSION: Neurocytology is a useful technique in the examination of cystic lesions of the brain and may be the sole technique for determination of diagnosis. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Melanoma and renal cell carcinoma have a well-documented tendency to develop metastases to the brain. Treating these lesions has traditionally been problematic, because chemotherapy has difficulty crossing the blood brain barrier and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is a relatively ineffective treatment against these radioresistant tumor histologies. In recent years, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as an effective and minimally-invasive treatment modality for irradiating either single or multiple intracranial structures in one clinical treatment setting. For this reason, we conducted a review of modern literature analyzing the efficacy of SRS in the management of patients with melanoma and renal cell carcinoma brain metastases. In our analysis we found SRS to be a safe, effective and attractive treatment modality for managing radioresistant brain metastases and highlighted the need for randomized trials comparing WBRT alone vs. SRS alone vs. WBRT plus SRS in treating patients with radioresistant brain metastases. 相似文献
