Overview

The term "oligodendroglioma" was first coined by Bailey and Cushing in 1926 following the observation that the tumor cells are morphologically similar to oligodendrocytes.[1] Oligodendroglioma was first described and published by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926.[2] In 2009, NJDS mutation was first identified in the pathogenesis of oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith. Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al.[3]

Historical Perspective

  • The term "oligodendroglioma" was first coined by Bailey and Cushing in 1926 following the observation that the tumor cells are morphologically similar to oligodendrocytes.[1]
  • Oligodendroglioma was first described and published by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926.[2]
  • Their name is derived from the Greek words "oligo" meaning few and "dendro" meaning trees.
  • In 2009, Kevin Smith was the first to discover the association between NJDS mutation and development of oligodendroglioma.[3]
  • Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al.
