Rare-12. adult pilocytic astrocytoma: an institutional series and systematic literature review for extent of resection and recurrence

CONCLUSIONS:Though rare, adult pilocytic astrocytoma can present over a wide range of ages. GTR should be the goal of surgery when possible as tumor recurrence is more likely after STR. However, this is not always feasible. Prognosis is generally favorable and overall survival can be excellent.
