Svensk definition
Ett relativt långsamt växande gliom som härstammar ur oligodendroglia och som brukar uppstå i de cerebrala hemisfärerna, talamus eller laterala ventrikeln. De kan uppkomma i alla åldrar, men är vanligast i tredje eller femte decenniet med en tidigare incidens-topp i det första decenniet. Histologiskt är dessa tumörer inkapslade, relativt avaskulära och brukar bilda cystor och förkalkningar. Tumörceller brukar ha små runda kärnor omslutna av ofärgade kärnor. Tumörerna varierar från väl-differentierade till anaplastiska former.

Engelsk definition
A relatively slow-growing glioma that is derived from oligodendrocytes and tends to occur in the cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, or lateral ventricle. They may present at any age, but are most frequent in the third to fifth decades, with an earlier incidence peak in the first decade. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, relatively avascular, and tend to form cysts and microcalcifications. Neoplastic cells tend to have small round nuclei surrounded by unstained nuclei. The tumors may vary from well-differentiated to highly anaplastic forms.
