Comparison of clinical, imaging, and histopathologic characteristics of PLNTYs and oligodendrogliomas
| PLNTY | Oligodendroglioma | |
|---|---|---|
| Age at diagnosis (yr) | 16–18 | 40–60 |
| Most common location | Temporal lobe | Frontal lobe |
| Tumoral border | Well-circumscribed | Poorly defined |
| Calcification | Heavily calcified, central location of calcifications | Less prominent; calcifications are classically gyriform |
| Intralesional signal | Heterogeneous | Heterogeneous |
| Enhancement | Minority of tumors, typically mild | Minority of tumors, typically mild (described as dotlike) |
| Intratumoral cysts | ∼90% | ∼50% |
