SEGA-like circumscribed astrocytoma in a non-NF1 patient, harboring molecular profile of GBM. A case report.

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a low-grade periventricular tumor that is closely associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). SEGA typically arises during the first two decades of life and rarely arises after the age of 20-25 years. Nevertheless, it has also been reported that glioma histologically resembling SEGA, so-called SEGA-like astrocytoma, can arise in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients, even in the elderly.
