CONTEXT
The dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) is an uncommon lesion characterized by a heterogeneous population of neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglia-like cells (OLCs). The basic nature of the DNT and its constituent cells, particularly the OLCs, remains unresolved; some authors favor a neuronal origin, and others propose a glial or mixed origin for these cells.
DESIGN
We examined 11 DNTs with antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, a marker of mature oligodendrocytes.
RESULTS
All DNTs studied (7 from males, 4 from females; age range of patients, 2-37 years) were composed of varying proportions of neurons, astrocytes, and OLCs. Membrane or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein was found in many OLCs in 9 of 11 cases. The number of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-positive OLCs was variable: >75% of the OLCs were positive in 5 cases, 25% to 75% of the OLCs were positive in 2 cases, and <25% of the OLCs were positive in 2 cases.
CONCLUSION
These findings suggest that many of the OLCs represent mature oligodendrocytes and support the notion that DNTs are heterogenous lesions composed of multiple, mature cell types.
