Ans: B
Feedback: An oligodendroglial tumor is a type of glial tumor. The histologic distinction between astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas is difficult to make but important as recent research shows that oligodendrogliomas are more sensitive to chemotherapy than astrocytomas. Oligodendroglial tumors are categorized as low grade and high grade (anaplastic). They are not benign.
