Also known as CNS ganglioglioma, adult ganglioglioma, childhood ganglioglioma
A ganglioglioma is a rare, slow-growing primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor which most frequently occurs in the temporal lobes of children and young adults. They are mixed cell tumors containing both neural ganglionic cells and neural glial cell components. This should not be confused with a gangliocytoma (ganglion cell tumor) which is composed of neurons of variable sizes but contains no glial cells.

A ganglioglioma is a rare, slow-growing primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor which most frequently occurs in the temporal lobes of children and young adults. They are mixed cell tumors containing both neural ganglionic cells and neural glial cell components. This should not be confused with a gangliocytoma (ganglion cell tumor) which is composed of neurons of variable sizes but contains no glial cells.
==Classification== Gangliogliomas are generally benign WHO grade I tumors; the presence of anaplastic changes in the glial component is considered to represent WHO grade III (anaplastic ganglioglioma). Criteria for WHO grade II have been suggested, but are not established. Malignant transformation of spinal ganglioglioma has been seen in only a select few cases. Poor prognostic factors for adults with gangliogliomas include older age at diagnosis, male sex, and malignant histologic features. ==Histopathology==
