ABSTRACT
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma is known as a rare specialized type of cerebral astrocytoma, which occurs mainly in the temporal loe of the brain in young ages in spite of marked pleomorphism with multinucleated giant cells, lipid-laden xantomatous cells, rich reticulin net-works, and the demonstration of glial fibrillary acidic protein, the prognosis is usually favorable. The authors report three cases of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma which were presented with headache and review the past literature.
