Anaplastic ganglioglioma (AGG) is a rare tumor. A PubMed database search yielded only a few case reports and fewer case series. An even rarer entity is AGG arising in the spinal cord. We present a case of a pediatric patient with a pathological diagnosis of spinal AGG.

Gangliogliomas are grade 1 glioneuronal tumors occurring predominantly in the temporal lobe, as per the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Gangliogliomas often harbor (v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1) p.V600E hotspot mutation or other alterations leading to activation of RAS/RAF/MAPK (rat sarcoma virus oncogene/rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling pathway, which is the driver factor of this tumor.

Article Synopsis
- Anaplastic ganglioglioma (GG) is a rare tumor with glial components that can become more aggressive over time, particularly in pediatric patients aged 9-16.
- In a study of three patients with BRAF p.V600E mutations, initial low-grade tumors transformed into higher-grade tumors at recurrence after a period ranging from 20 months to 7 years.
- The research suggests that the progression to a more malignant state in gangliogliomas may involve the inactivation of the CDKN2A/B genes, even though these deletions were not found in all initial tumors.

Ganglioglioma is a rare neoplasm most common in children and adolescents. It is typically located in the supratentorial compartment, with the temporal lobe being the most common tumor location. Anaplastic ganglioglioma is a WHO grade III ganglioglioma, a rare subtype accounting for a small minority of ganglioglioma cases.
