Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical , imaging and pathological features of the third ventricle chor glioma.Methods This paper investigated and reviewed the clinic pathology feature of a case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle by light-microscopy , electron microscopy , and immunohistochemistry study , and reviewed the literatures .Results Glioma of the third ventricle chordoid imaging mainly as placeholders shadow on the third ventricle and saddle , homogeneous enhancement, edge clarity.Histologically, the tumor showed diffuse evenly distributed , clustered, cord-like epithelial cells buried in the vacuoles myxoid matrix , the interval between tumor cells and the surrounding endoplasmic characteristic with plasma cell infiltration .Tumor cells lacking pleomorphic mitotic and necrotic .GFAP immunohistochemistry shows diffuse strongly positive .Complete removal is the main treatment , prognosis between benign and malignant .Conclusion Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle is a unique clinical , histopathological , immunological phenotype characterized by electron micros-copy and rare central nervous system tumors , easily misdiagnosed .Pathological diagnosis is mainly based on the growth of tumor -specific parts chordoid organizational structure and GFAP immunohistochemistry diffuse strongly positive .
