RESUMEN
Anaplastic gangliogliomas with an oligodendroglial component are exceedingly rare tumors of uncertain growth potential. We report a 17-year-old female with a massive ganglioglioma containing anaplastic oligodendroglioma apparently arising from the thalamus. Two weeks after partial resection, she was started on a regimen including escalated doses of topotecan in combination with a fixed-dosage intensification regimen of cisplatin, cyclophosphamide and vincristine with subsequent hyperfractionated external beam radiotherapy. She currently has stable disease.
