Overview

The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors" was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926, where they mentioned that gliomas were formed by transformation of glial cells.[1][2]

Historical Perspective

  • The broad topic "oligodendroglial tumors" was first described by Bailey and Cushing in 1926.[1][2]
  • The anaplastic nature of oligodendroglial tumors was described by Kernohan based on the features such as endothelial proliferation, nuclear atypia, mitoses, and necrosis.
  • These tumors were published later by WHO and St. Anne-Mayo Clinic schema (Daumas-Duport system) in the later part of 20th century.
  • The studies by Zulch resulted in the formulation of the WHO classification of CNS tumors.[1]
