region, histology, characteristics on imaging(Juvenile) pilocytic astrocytomas usually arise in the ☆cerebellum, brainstem, hypothalamic region, or optic pathways.
Microscopically, pilocytic astrocytomas are well-differentiated neoplasms comprised of ☆spindle cells with hair-like glial processes that are associated with microcysts. These cells are mixed with ☆Rosenthal fibers and granular eosinophilic bodies.
