Radiation-induced brain tumors are suggested to be the late complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. High-grade gliomas, meningiomas, and sarcomas are the most frequent neoplasms. Secondary anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are exceedingly rare. Five cases of pure anaplastic oligodendroglioma have been reported in the literature, and only 1 case was in a child after ALL treatment. The authors present 2 cases of pediatric anaplastic oligodendroglioma after treatment of ALL. Furthermore, they performed a molecular cytogenetic study and found loss of 1p in both cases. The authors provide a review of the previous cases and discuss their findings.
