ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

A) meningioma

This answer is incorrect.

Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common pediatric central nervous system glial neoplasm. Meningioma is the most common intracranial tumour to host metastases, the majority of which arise from breast and lung cancers. It comprises over half of extramedullar tumours of spinal canal.

B) oligoastrocytoma

This answer is incorrect.

Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common pediatric central nervous system glial neoplasm. Oligoastrocytoma is the most common brain mixed glioma composed of mixed cells of oligodendroglial and astrocytic phenotypes. (1, 146) (See References)

D) oligodendroglioma

This answer is incorrect.

Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common pediatric central nervous system glial neoplasm. Oligodendroglioma is the most common of all tumors which induce long-standing epilepsy. (1, 147) (See References)

E) neuroblastoma

This answer is incorrect.

Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common pediatric central nervous system glial neoplasm. Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial malignant solid tumor in children, particularly under 5 years. It has an incidence of about 1:10,000 births. It is the most common tumor occuring in infancy, comprising up to 50% of malignancies among infants, and 20%-50% of all malignancies encountered during the neonatal period. It is the most common fetal malignancy. It is the most common malignant cause of spinal compression in the pediatric population. It is the most frequent neural crest tumor. It is the most common tumor of the abdomen in children. Clinical presentation and prognosis are widely heterogenous. In about 70% of cases, it arises in the adrenal gland. It is highly malignant. It accounts for approximately 15% of cancer-related pediatric deaths. The majority of patients die from the metastatic disease. It carries a poor prognosis especially in advanced stages.
