Abstract:
A case of tuberous sclerosis with congenital brain tumor was reported. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the pathological findings of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, after surgery at the newborn period. After the neonatal period, the patient presented the classical triad of seizures, white spot of skin and mental retardation. The exact nature of tumor-forming giant cells remains controversial. We studied the nature of these cells using immunohistochemical method. GFAP, S-100 protein and NSE stains were all positive. This result suggested that the tumor cells had the features of both neurons and astrocytes.
