Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma

These lesions are most often encountered in the setting of tuberous sclerosis, sometimes constituting the initial clinical presentation. The tumor cells typically have abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and often exhibit prominent nucleoli . The glial nature of the neoplastic cells composing this tumor is far from universally accepted; many examples fail to show immunopositivity for GFAP, and immunopositivity of some neoplastic cells for the neuronal marker neurofilament protein may be demonstrated. Nevertheless, the subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is traditionally grouped with the astrocytic neoplasms, and shares with the pilocytic astrocytoma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma a more indolent behavior and better prognosis than that of the fibrillary astrocytomas.

Facts of life

When entering the soul of the human, there is a great discrepancy about the value of timing of the life. Some are careless even about the entire of their existence and others are struggling for their seconds of life.

Quality of life

It plays a major impact in decision making from the patient. Here come the moral, ethics, religious believes and the internal motives of the patient to play a major hidden role in his own survival.
