    Author: Park K, Yoo J, Cho H, Cho W, Park S.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 1998 Aug; 13(4):440-4. PubMed ID: 9741553.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma of infancy (DCAI) in a 9-month-old boy including immunohistochemical and proliferative activity studies. It was mainly composed of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes and desmoplastic stroma. Studies with Ki-67 and synthetic phase fraction disclosed a low proliferative activity. Flow cytometric study revealed diploidy pattern. These findings suggest a positive correlation with the favorable prognosis.
