An example of histopathological and molecular genetic alterations in recurrent anaplastic oligodendroglioma (Patient 3). The patient with anaplastic oligodendroglioma was treated with 12 courses of temozolomide after gross total removal of the tumor, and MRI and 11C-Methionine –PET detected regrowth of the tumor 17 months after this treatment. Histological analysis was anaplastic oligodendroglioma at recurrence, which showed decreased tumor cell density, slight improvement of atypia of the nucleus, and decreased number of mitotic cells compared to the primary tumor. Hemizygous loss of multiple foci was not preserved at recurrence, except for 1p/19q-codeletion. Clinical course, MRI and MET-PET images, pathological images (H&E stained formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slides), copy number alterations and phylogenetic tree of the primary and recurrent tumor are depicted from top to bottom of the panel
