FIGURE 2

Low-grade astrocytoma, subtype indeterminate, in a small biopsy. High-power view of a small spinal cord biopsy demonstrates neoplastic astrocytes with eosinophilic processes but lacking other specific features (hematoxylin and eosin; 400×) (A). Cross section of the thoracic spinal cord at autopsy shows a distinct tumor (left) with overlying leptomeningeal spread (B) (Luxol fast blue/cresyl violet). Perivascular pseudorosettes characteristic of pilomyxoid astrocytomas were observed in this case (C) (hematoxylin and eosin; 200×).
