Discrepancy between radiological and histological findings in ganglioglioma of the optic chasm: Case report.

CONCLUSION: The discrepancy between radiological and histological findings implies that this new amino acid tracer PET may have a limitation in the diagnosis of gangliogliomas. Although further study is necessary, gangliogliomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of suprasellar tumors, even if PET findings show malignant features. PMID: 28781923 [PubMed]
