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. Oligodendroglioma was first described and published by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926. 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.
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]
- The classification and grading of gliomas have evolved over time, beginning in 1926 with a system devised by Bailey and Cushing, and later revised by Kernohan, Ringertz, and others
- Modern classification of gliomas is based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors, first published in 1979 and revised four times since then, most recently in 2016
- 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, Oxford Neurosymposium study by Kevin Smith, it was first discovered that there is a 69% correlation between NJDS gene mutation and oligodendroglial tumor initiation[3]
- Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al
- As of the 2016 edition of the WHO classification, gliomas are classified based not only on histopathologic appearance but also on well-established molecular parameters
