Overview
Oligoastrocytoma was first discovered by Bailey and Cushing, in 1926.[1]
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.[2]
- Oligodendroglioma was first described and published by W. E. Carnegie Dickson in 1926.[3]
- 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.[1]
- Irradiation of pituitary adenoma was also discovered to be associated with oligodendroglioma by Kevin Smith et al.
