Context.—Angiocentric glioma is a rare, epilepsy-associated, low-grade neoplasm with a characteristic perivascular growth pattern. Objective.—To describe the clinicopathologic features of 5 angiocentric gliomas and to evaluate for coexistent malformation of cortical development/cortical dysplasia. Design.—Retrospective review of the clinicopathologic features of 5 angiocentric gliomas (3 males and 2 females; median age at surgery, 10 years; range, 3–19 years). Results.—Seizures were the most common presenting symptom (n  =  4); 1 patient presented with headaches. Four of the tumors were located in the parieto-occipital, parietal, or temporal cortex and 1 case arose in the thalamus. All tumors consisted of an angiocentric growth pattern of bipolar spindle cells with mild pleomorphism. Three tumors also demonstrated a focal solid growth pattern. Evidence of adjacent malformation of cortical development/focal cortical dysplasia was observed in 4 of 4 cases with sufficient tissue for evaluation; all were Palmini et al type I lesions (type IA, n  =  1; type IB, n  =  3). All patients were alive at last known follow-up (17–131 months). Conclusions.—The thalamic location of 1 tumor represents an undescribed location for this typically superficial cortical tumor. A subset of angiocentric gliomas, similar to other low-grade chronic epilepsy-related tumors of childhood, are associated with coexistent malformation of cortical development, suggesting a developmental basis to their origin.

Recently, in the scientist community of specialists dealing with structural epilepsy, it has been noticed an increasing interest in a special form of cortical development disorder not to be included in the ILAE Classification of the epilepsies the 2017 revision. It is so-called mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy (MOGHE). There are a number of publications devoted to the neuroimaging features of MOGHE, which are possible to distinguish from other epileptogenic substrates in comparisons with clinical/anamnestic data and dynamic observation. Our paper describes the case of a patient under 6 years suffering from pharmacoresistant epilepsy with histologically confirmed MOGHE, and having undergone the procedure of epileptic surgery. MRI showed an increased intensity of the T2/FLAIR signal from the white matter in combination with signs of laminar hyperintensivity, regional sulcation disturbance, smoothness of gray-white matter demarcation in the right frontal lobe. A signal intensification from the white matter with the formation similarity of the «transmantl» sign and further pronounced smoothness of the gray-white matter demarcation was observed on dynamic MRI. These changes were estimated as focal cortical dysplasia. Pre-surgical examination revealed a correlation of epileptiform activity with MRI changes. The subtotal resection of the right frontal lobe and the morphological conclusion established the presence of MOGHE was performed.
