ABSTRACT
The pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma has been known as a very rare type of glioma, which occurs mainly in the temporal lobe of the brain in young ages. It has distinctive characteristics regarding age, symptoms and signs, gross and microscopic features and relatively favorable prognosis despite of pleomorphism and bizarre giant cells in microscopic picture.
