Glioma

Mixed Gliomas

Mixed gliomas are brain tumors that have more than one type of brain cell, including astrocytes, ependymal cells and/or oligodendrocytes. The most common site for a mixed glioma is the cerebrum, the main part of the brain. Like other gliomas, it can spread to other parts of the brain. Mixed gliomas are more common in adult men than women, and can occur in children.
