Intra-axial cortical-based tumours are rare tumours affecting children and young adults. These tumours can be classified as either low-grade or high-grade, depending on their aggressiveness and rate of growth. We report a case of homonymous hemianopia secondary to an intra-axial cortical-based tumour in a young patient.

The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of the central nervous system (CNS) tumors has classified diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor (DLGNT) as a mixed neuronal and glial tumor. Here, we report a DLGNT with two distinct morphological tumor components but identical molecular features. A four-year-old female child presented with progressive right upper extremity weakness.

:: fusion is a driver, potentially targetable, genetic alteration identified in approximately 4% of high-grade diffuse gliomas and rare cases with low-grade histology. Herein, we review the genetic and epigenetic features of these tumors and highlight the challenges in their classification and grading. Diffuse gliomas with :: fusion display unique histopathological and molecular features, including an oligodendroglioma-like appearance, calcifications, and CD34 extravascular immunoreactivity.

Purpose: The primary aim was to evaluate whether anti-3-[F]FACBC PET combined with conventional MRI correlated better with histomolecular diagnosis (reference standard) than MRI alone in glioma diagnostics. The ability of anti-3-[F]FACBC to differentiate between molecular and histopathological entities in gliomas was also evaluated.
Methods: In this prospective study, patients with suspected primary or recurrent gliomas were recruited from two sites in Norway and examined with PET/MRI prior to surgery.
