Pilocytic astrocytomas are slow-growing astrocytic tumors that typically show a biphasic histopathological arrangement. The macroscopic appearance of pilocytic astrocytoma varies with its location within the central nervous system. Tumors of the cerebellum and cerebral hemisphere are typically well-circumscribed, cystlike masses with a discrete mural nodule, whereas those arising in the hypothalamus and optic chiasm tend to be large, soft, cystlike masses.At histologic examination, pilocytic astrocytoma classically manifests in a noteworthy biphasic pattern composed of a combination of loose glial tissue punctuated by numerous vacuoles, microcysts, occasional macrocysts, and compacted piloid tissue. The piloid tissue component is composed of dense sheets of elongated bipolar cells that demonstrate fine fibrillary (hairlike) processes, a highly distinctive feature, and typically an abundance of Rosenthal fibers.In contrast, the multipolar cells of the loose glial tissue, frequently called protoplasmic astrocytes, are much less fibrillated and commonly are intermixed with degenerative products of astrocyte formation, known as eosinophilic granular bodies or “protein droplets”. These “classic” but nonspecific granular bodies are believed to indicate slow growth and low histologic grade and are associated with a favorable prognosis.
