Histologically, it may mimic oligodendroglioma, central neurocytoma, hemangioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The authors reviewed the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features, therapy, and outcome in 10 children with CCE who were treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (1984\u20132003). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed using 1p\/1q, 19p\/19q, CEP18\/<jats:italic>DAL1<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>bcr<\/jats:italic>\/<jats:italic>NF2<\/jats:italic> probe pairs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The median patient age at diagnosis was 7.5 years (range, 1\u201319 years). Tumors occurred supratentorially in 9 of 10 patients. All tumors had rounded nuclei with surrounding, clear halos and at least focal perivascular pseudorosettes. Seven tumors had anaplastic features. No deletions involving 1p, 19q, or <jats:italic>NF2<\/jats:italic> were detected. The tumors from 5 of 7 patients, all with anaplasia, had losses of both CEP18 and <jats:italic>DAL\u20101<\/jats:italic>. Radiographically, all tumors were enhanced, and 9 tumors had associated cysts with enhancing walls. Seven patients underwent gross total resection, which was near total in one patient and subtotal in two patients. Five patients received immediate postoperative local radiotherapy. Three patients were diagnosed initially with pilocytic astrocytoma (one patient) and oligodendroglioma (two patients) and were observed. The progression\u2010free survival and overall survival rates at 5 years were 34% \u00b1 20% and 75% \u00b1 19%, respectively. The median follow\u2010up was 37 months (range, 5\u2013239 months). Five patients developed local recurrence within a median of 9 months after diagnosis. Two patients developed extracranial soft tissue and lymph node metastases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>CCEs were found to have a predilection for extraneural metastases and early recurrence and demonstrate characteristic radiographic features, anaplastic histologic features, and chromosome 18 losses. The authors recommend resection followed by local radiotherapy as the treatment of choice in children.
