Excerpt

Diffuse gliomas occur at all ages, but their incidence is highest among older adults [7]. They have astrocytic or oligodendroglial morphologies and are represented across WHO grades II–IV. In childhood, they are uncommon, presenting less frequently than the broad range of pediatric circumscribed gliomas, particularly pilocytic astrocytoma, and a few glioneuronal tumors, e.g., ganglioglioma [16]. …
