Notes:
Summary Disturbed mitoses are classified in slices of 40 medulloblastomas and 10 glioblastomas and their frequency related to all mitotic processes are determined. In medulloblastomas atypical mitoses are to be found significantly more frequently than in glioblastomas. The distribution pattern of several characteristic abnormalities of the mitotic process exhibit a striking resemblance in both kinds of tumor. It is assumed that these disturbances are produced by necrobiotic injury. Moreover, the authors found directions to a mitotic course of the same kind in these both growths, by which they are distinguished from mesenchymal tumors.
