GLI1-altered mesenchymal tumors are a relatively rare type of mesenchymal tumor that is common in the head and neck. It is a newly added tumor type in the World Health Organization Tumor Classification of Head and Neck (5th edition). This article reports a case ofGLI1alteredmesenchymal tumor occurring at the left tongue and reviews the relevant literature to summarize the pathological morphological characteristics, immunophenotype, molecular changes, clinical manifestations, and prognosis of the disease.

Glioma-associated oncogene (-altered mesenchymal tumors are a newly described entity of neoplasms with very few case reports published in the literature. -altered neoplasms have a moderate degree of variability as they are seen in a broad range of anatomic sites and amongst people of all ages. A common feature that most -altered tumors share is the histologic makeup of monomorphic ovoid cells organized in distinct nests and an arborizing vascular blood supply.

Pathogenic alterations, namely, fusions and amplifications, of the GLI1 gene have been identified in various mesenchymal tumors, including pericytoma with t(7;12), plexiform fibromyxoma, gastroblastoma, and other malignant mesenchymal neoplasms arising in the soft tissues, as well as in various visceral organs. However, only three cases of GLI1-rearranged renal tumors have been reported to date, comprising two low-grade spindle cell tumors with GLI1::FOXO4 fusion along with one GLI1-rearranged case with an unknown fusion partner. In this study, we analyzed three cases with GLI1::FOXO4 fusion and overlapping morphology.

GLI1-altered tumors form a diverse group occurring in various anatomic locations. In the alimentary tract, the most established are gastroblastoma, a biphasic epithelial-mesenchymal neoplasm of the stomach, and plexiform fibromyxoma, a pure spindle cell neoplasm. The spectrum of GLI1-rearranged gastrointestinal tumors has recently expanded with reports of cases in other parts of the GI tract, some exhibiting gastroblastoma-like features and others being pure mesenchymal neoplasms.

GLI1-altered mesenchymal tumors have recently emerged as a distinctive group of neoplasms characterized by GLI1 fusions or amplifications. Although there is clearly metastatic potential, the clinicopathologic features predicting for metastasis are currently unknown. Herein, we present 6 cases of GLI1-altered mesenchymal tumors with multiomics analysis.
