It was found that fibrillary astrocytoma consists of a small number of cells and a large number of glial fibers. These fibers, varying in thickness, distinctly differentiate fibrillary astrocytomas from tumors with thin, indistinct astrocytic contours. Rosenthal dystrophy actively develops within the glial fibers, contributing to the extensive spread of fibrillary astrocytoma in the brain. Health sciences/Medical research Health sciences/Oncology Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Introduction Astrocytomas are among the most common tumors of the brain, originating from astrocytes (6). According to the latest edition of the WHO classification [7], astrocytomas are distinguished based on their molecular characteristics. In terms of growth rate, astrocytic tumors are categorized as slow-growing (low-grade) and rapidly growing (high-grade), while their malignancy is classified into four degrees [3]. Astrocytomas belong to a group of glial neoplasms originating from astroglial cells and are considered the most prevalent primary blastomas of the nervous system. These brain tumors account for 30–50% of all neoplasms [13]. Fibrillary astrocytoma is a low-grade glioma; however, according to some authors, malignant transformation is observed in 48–80% of cases [5]. Following surgical treatment of fibrillary astrocytomas, the average life expectancy of patients, based on representative statistical studies, is up to 5 years [21]. Objective of the Study To conduct a pathomorphological analysis of fibrillary astrocytoma of the brain identified using magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods The study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department of the Multidisciplinary Clinic of Samarkand State Medical University. A total of 23 patients—13 men and 10 women—underwent MRI-based identification of astrocytomas. Tumor samples measuring 1×1×0.5 cm were surgically excised. The tissue samples were fixed in 10% neutral formalin, processed through an alcohol series, and embedded in paraffin blocks. Histological sections of 7–10 microns in thickness were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, as well as Nissl stain. The prepared histological specimens were analyzed morphologically. Results and Discussion Microscopic examination of fibrillary astrocytoma revealed a low cellular density and a high concentration of glial fibers. The cytoplasm of the cells appeared faint, with oval and elongated nuclei (Fig. 1 ). Astrocytes and Glial Fibers Astrocytes and glial fibers are arranged in parallel, following a consistent orientation, and sometimes form bundle-like structures. In certain cases, these bundles merge with a reticular structure. In other specimens, glial fibers appear to be randomly arranged. Some histological preparations show sparsely distributed glial fibers with wide inter-fiber spaces, whereas others reveal densely packed fibers. Glial fibers are generally uniform in thickness and have well-defined contours; however, in certain microscopic fields, variations in fiber thickness can be observed. These fibers distinctly stand out from the thin and indistinct astrocytic processes. The inter-fiber spaces are filled with tissue fluid. In some preparations, these regions do not absorb stain, whereas in many hematoxylin and eosin-stained specimens, the inter-fiber spaces appear light pink due to protein accumulation. Rosenthal dystrophy, characterized by thickening of both astrocytic processes and cell bodies, is commonly observed in glial fibers (Fig. 2 ). A defining characteristic of glial tumors is their invasive growth, during which tumor cells penetrate the surrounding brain tissue to varying depths, forming an infiltration zone. The extent of this infiltration depends on the histobiological properties of the tumor, including its degree of malignancy, as well as the topographic and anatomical features of the affected area [9]. In our study, histological examination of tumor tissue excised from MRI-identified lesions revealed glial fibers interspersed among normal brain tissue, differing from astrocytic processes. Fibrillary astrocytoma initially exhibits glial fiber formation, followed by the incorporation of cellular structures. Conclusion In summary, fibrillary astrocytoma consists of a low number of cells and a high density of glial fibers. These fibers, varying in thickness, clearly distinguish the tumor from astrocytic processes with thin and indistinct contours. Rosenthal dystrophy actively develops within glial fibers, facilitating the tumor’s expansion within the brain. Given the high prevalence and distinct pathomorphological features of fibrillary astrocytoma, further in-depth scientific studies on this tumor type are warranted.
