IntroductionThe differential diagnoses for multifocal lesions with pineal and suprasellar involvement in a young adult include germ cell tumour and intracranial metastasis. Other differentials include atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour and pineoblastoma. We present the first known case of multicentric H3K27M mutant diffuse midline glioma, which is typically defined by its diffuse nature, midline location, and H3K27M mutation.Case reportA young Chinese female presented subacutely with giddiness, right abducens nerve palsy and unsteady gait. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain with contrast revealed a moderately sized pineal region tumour, extending into the third ventricle, associated with hydrocephalus. There were two other synchronous lesions noted in the suprasellar and left occipital region. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid tumour markers, along with a computed tomography scan of her thorax and abdomen and were unremarkable. She underwent an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and biopsy of pineal and suprasellar lesions. Histology demonstrated a poor prognosis variant multifocal glioblastoma multiforme that was IDH wildtype, H3K27M positive, and MGMT unmethylated. MRI of the whole spine did not reveal any drop metastasis. The patient subsequently underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy after she was deemed to be unsuitable for surgical resection.ConclusionAlthough rare, multicentric H3K27M mutant diffuse midline glioma should be included in the list of differential diagnoses for multifocal enhancing lesions with involvement of the pineal and suprasellar regions, especially if the lesions demonstrate imaging features atypical for more common diagnosis such as germ cell tumours. 相似文献

The 2016 edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System introduced “diffuse midline glioma H3 K27M mutant” as a new diagnostic entity. These tumors predominately affect pediatric patients and arise from midline structures such as the brainstem, thalamus and spinal cord. Here, we report a rare patient with spinal ganglioglioma carrying an H3 K27M mutation. A 10‐year‐old boy presented with an intramedullary tumor in the cervical spinal cord. The lesion was partially removed and histologically diagnosed as ganglioglioma. After the remnant tumor grew within 3 months after surgery, the patient underwent radiotherapy. Genetic analyses revealed an H3F3A K27M mutation but no other genetic alterations such as IDH and BRAF mutations. This case may point to pathological heterogeneity in gliomas with H3 K27M mutations. 相似文献

H3K27M and H3.3G34R/V mutations have been identified in pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG), though extraneural metastases are rarely reported and poorly characterized. Three pHGG patients from two institutions were identified with extraneural metastasis, harboring histone mutations. Their clinical, imaging and molecular characteristics are reported here. A 17-year old female presented with supratentorial H3.3G34R-mutant glioma with metastatic osseous lesions in the spine, pelvis, bone marrow, pleural effusion and soft tissue of pelvis. Bone marrow biopsy and soft tissue of pelvis biopsy showed neoplastic cells positive for P53. A 20-year old female was diagnosed with H3F3A H3K27M–mutant thalamic glioma. She developed diffuse sclerotic osseous lesions. Biopsy of an osseous lesion was non-diagnostic. A 17-year old female presented with a H3F3A H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma with diffuse spinal cord metastasis. She further developed multifocal chest lymphadenopathy, pleural effusions, and a soft tissue mass in the abdominal wall. The latter was positive for H3K27M mutation. We present the first case series of pHGG with H3F3A mutation and diffuse extraneural dissemination, describing their clinical and molecular profile. 相似文献

The WHO classification of tumors of the CNS in 2016 defined “diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant” as a new tumor entity locating in the CNS midline. However, the H3 K27M-mutation in “non-midline” glioblastoma are rare and their characteristics have been rarely reported. A 16-year-old girl presented a hyper-intense lesion at her left temporal stem on T2WI, FLAIR and DWI. Biopsy was performed and molecular pathological diagnosis was glioblastoma with H3 K27M-mutant. Accordingly, the possibility of H3 K27M-mutant should be examined not only for diffuse glioma without IDH mutation that develops at a midline location, but also in non-midline locations. 相似文献

A methionine substitution of lysine at residue 27 of histone H3 (H3K27M) mutation has become synonymous with malignant pediatric diffuse midline glioma (DMG), that occurs commonly in the brainstem. Therefore, recent reports that this same mutation occurs in malignant adult glioblastoma (GBM) located in the cerebellum are both unexpected and intriguing. The biological and clinical considerations of this novel finding are discussed. 相似文献

Studies in pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (HGA) by our group and others have uncovered recurrent somatic mutations affecting highly conserved residues in histone 3 (H3) variants. One of these mutations leads to analogous p.Lys27Met (K27M) mutations in both H3.3 and H3.1 variants, is associated with rapid fatal outcome, and occurs specifically in HGA of the midline in children and young adults. This includes diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (80 %) and thalamic or spinal HGA (>90 %), which are surgically challenging locations with often limited tumor material available and critical need for specific histopathological markers. Here, we analyzed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 143 pediatric HGA and 297 other primary brain tumors or normal brain. Immunohistochemical staining for H3K27M was compared to tumor genotype, and also compared to H3 tri-methylated lysine 27 (H3K27me3) staining, previously shown to be drastically decreased in samples carrying this mutation. There was a 100 % concordance between genotype and immunohistochemical analysis of H3K27M in tumor samples. Mutant H3K27M was expressed in the majority of tumor cells, indicating limited intra-tumor heterogeneity for this specific mutation within the limits of our dataset. Both H3.1 and H3.3K27M mutants were recognized by this antibody while non-neoplastic elements, such as endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells or lymphocytes, did not stain. H3K27me3 immunoreactivity was largely mutually exclusive with H3K27M positivity. These results demonstrate that mutant H3K27M can be specifically identified with high specificity and sensitivity using an H3K27M antibody and immunohistochemistry. Use of this antibody in the clinical setting will prove very useful for diagnosis, especially in the context of small biopsies in challenging midline tumors and will help orient care in the context of the extremely poor prognosis associated with this mutation. 相似文献

A patient is described in whom a large diffuse glioma of the pons extending into the midbrain was diagnosed at the age of 2 years. Biopsy showed a fibrillary astrocytoma. After shunting of a hydrocephalus, the clinical symptoms abated without conventional therapy. Repeated MRI studies showed a continuous decrease of the tumour which was no longer visible when the patient was 6.6 years old. In reviews on spontaneous remissions of oncologic disorders we were unable to find a case of a biologically benign brain stem tumour. There is one isolated report on a similar case, though without histologic documentation. 相似文献

Pediatric glioblastomas (GBM) are highly aggressive and lethal tumors. Recent sequencing studies have shown that ~30 % of pediatric GBM and ~80 % of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas show K27M mutations in the H3F3A gene, a variant encoding histone H3.3. H3F3A K27M mutations lead to global reduction in H3K27me3. Our goal was to develop biomarkers for the histopathologic detection of these tumors. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of measuring H3K27me3 global reduction as a histopathologic and prognostic biomarker and tested an antibody directed specifically against the H3.3 K27M mutation in 290 samples. The study cohort included 203 pediatric (including 38 pediatric high-grade astrocytomas) and 38 adult brain tumors of various subtypes and grades and 49 non-neoplastic reactive brain tissues. Detection of H3.3 K27M by immunohistochemistry showed 100 % sensitivity and specificity and was superior to global reduction in H3K27me3 as a biomarker in diagnosing H3F3A K27M mutations. Moreover, cases that stained positive for H3.3 K27M showed a significantly poor prognosis compared to corresponding negative tumors. These results suggest that immunohistochemical detection of H3.3 K27M is a sensitive and specific surrogate for the H3F3A K27M mutation and defines a prognostically poor subset of pediatric GBM. 相似文献

Cerebellar high‐grade gliomas are rare, and likely to affect younger patients compared with those of cerebral origin. Recent genetic analyses have revealed that isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2 mutations are rare in infratentorial gliomas. In this paper, we report two elderly cases of IDH‐mutated cerebellar high‐grade glioma with unusual histological features and uncommon patient ages. One case was an 83‐year‐old man, whose tumor was predominantly composed of densely packed round‐to‐polygonal epithelioid cells. The other was a 75‐year‐old woman's high‐grade astrocytoma characterized by cord‐like structures and the perivascular papillary arrangements with varying amounts of myxoid matrix. The former harbored IDH1 R132H mutation, whereas the latter had IDH2 R172K mutation. According to our literature review, eight cases of IDH‐mutated infratentorial gliomas including the present cases have been reported, and four had mutations other than IDH1 R132H. Moreover, we herein report the first elderly case of IDH2‐mutation. Although the number is limited, IDH‐mutant infratentorial diffuse gliomas may have clinical, histological and genetic features different from supratentorial cases. 相似文献

Here, we report a juvenile (18-year-old male) case of epilepsy-associated, isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type/histone 3 wild-type diffuse glioma with a rare BRAF mutation and a focal atypical feature resembling diffuse astrocytoma. The patient presented with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Subsequently, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintense lesion in the right temporal lobe on fluid attenuated inversion recovery images. The patient underwent right lateral temporal lobectomy and amygdalohippocampectomy. Histopathologically, the tumor showed isomorphic, diffuse, infiltrative proliferation of glial tumor cells and intense CD34 immunoreactivity. The tumor cells were immunonegative for isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) R132H and BRAF V600E. Notably, the tumor cells showed the lack of nuclear staining for α-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome, X-linked (ATRX). In addition, the Ki-67 labeling index, using a monoclonal antibody MIB-1, was elevated focally at tumor cells with p53 immunoreactivity. Molecular analyses identified a BRAFA598T mutation, the first case reported in a glioma. BRAFA598T is predicted to result in loss of kinase action; however, inactive mutants can stimulate mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling through CRAF activation. Thus, according to the recent update of the consortium to inform molecular and practical approaches to central nervous system tumor taxonomy (cIMPACT-NOW update 4), our case is also compatible with diffuse glioma with the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway alteration. Thorough immunohistochemical and molecular studies are necessary for diagnosis of epilepsy-associated, diffuse gliomas. Partial resemblance in histopathological and molecular genetic features to diffuse astrocytoma also calls for attention. 相似文献

Background
H3K27M mutated diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are extremely aggressive and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in pediatric brain tumors with 5-year survival <1%. Radiotherapy is the only established adjuvant treatment of H3K27M DMGs; however, the radio-resistance is commonly observed.Methods
We summarized current understandings of the molecular responses of H3K27M DMGs to radiotherapy and provide crucial insights into current advances in radiosensitivity enhancement.Results
Ionizing radiation (IR) can mainly inhibit tumor cell growth by inducing DNA damage regulated by the cell cycle checkpoints and DNA damage repair (DDR) system. In H3K27M DMGs, the aberrant genetic and epigenetic changes, stemness genotype, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) disrupt the cell cycle checkpoints and DDR system by altering the associated regulatory signaling pathways, which leads to the development of radio-resistance.Conclusions
The advances in mechanisms of radio-resistance in H3K27M DMGs promote the potential targets to enhance the sensitivity to radiotherapy. 相似文献17.

Background
We present a case of an anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO-grade III, AA III) in a 27-year-old woman treated by spinal cordectomy. The patient was pretreated by surgery, radiation therapy and temozolomide chemotherapy and repeat surgery at recurrence. Later on, she developed paraplegia and a diffuse severe pain syndrome. MRI demonstrated intramedullar invasion from T12 to T9. To assess tumor invasion intraoperatively, we used tumor fluorescence derived from 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA).Patients course
The spinal cord was amputated caudally to the root entry zones of the T10 sensory roots. Additional cordectomy was performed because of tumor infiltration at the cut end to T9 as identified by intraoperative tumor fluorescence, and as verified histologically. The final transected level was between T8 and T9, and the cut end did not reveal any tumor invasion intraoperatively by tumor fluorescence and postoperatively by MRI and with regard to the pathological result. After surgery, the patient was unchanged concerning spasticity, motor and sensory function, and showed complete relief of pain. She refused additional adjuvant therapy. The patient is free of recurrence 15 months after surgery.Conclusion
Our observation suggests 5-ALA fluorescence-guided resections to be useful in the context of malignant spinal cord gliomas. Furthermore, our particular case indicates that palliative spinal cordectomy with a wide margin and intraoperative resection using fluorescence guidance may be a final option for patients with recurrent spinal malignant glioma presenting with complete deficit below the lesion. 相似文献19.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of TP53 alteration on survival and clinicopathological features of glioma patients with H3K27M mutations. An individual-participant-data (IPD) meta-analysis was performed to investigate the impact of TP53 alteration on survival and clinicopathological features of patients with H3K27M mutations. Three hundred thirty-one individual records from 12 eligible glioma studies involving the H3K27M mutation were finally included in our meta-analysis, and a pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 1.53 (95%CI, 1.10–2.11; P?=?0.01) indicated that TP53 alterations were associated with a shorter overall survival. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) indicated that TP53 alterations were significantly associated with the age at diagnosis ≥?7 years (OR?=?1.97, 95%CI?=?1.15–3.38, P =?0.01), the status of histone H3.3 mutations (OR?=?9.15, 95%CI?=?4.18–20.06, P < 0.00001), and high WHO grade histology (III?+?IV) (OR?=?2.70, 95%CI?=?1.33–5.48, P?=?0.006). However, no association was found between TP53 alterations and gender or tumor location. This IPD meta-analysis suggests that TP53 alteration is a valuable predictor for the prognosis of patients with H3K27M mutated gliomas. TP53 alteration may be used for identifying a subset of patients who potentially benefit from targeted reactivation of TP53 activity. 相似文献
