Overview

Ganglioglioma must be differentiated from dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma, astrocytoma, ependymoma, and transverse myelitis.

Differentiating Ganglioglioma from other Diseases

Ganglioglioma must be differentiated from:[1]

Differential Diagnosis Differentiating Features
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNET)​
  • Contrast enhancement uncommon
  • "Bubbly appearance" common
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA)
  • Contrast enhancement prominent
  • Dural tail sign present
Oligodendroglioma
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma
  • Young children
  • Dural involvement prominent
  • Large, often multiple lesions
Astrocytoma
Ependymoma
Transverse myelitis
  • Often a differential diagnosis of ganglioglioma when ganglioglioma is located in the spinal cord
