PURPOSE:Angiocentric glioma (AG), a benign tumor identified within the last two decades, was officially included in the 2007 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, WHO grade I. The tumor is relatively rare, with only approximately 100 cases reported. We aim to complement the characteristics and long-term prognosis of AG, as well as to detect MYB-QKI fusions. METHODS:The characteristics of all cases collected between 1 March 2009 and 1 March 2023 at the Beijing Sanbo Brain Hospital, Capital Medical University, were summarized and analyzed. Additionally, all fourteen patients were tested for MYB-QKI fusions. RESULTS:AG more predominantly occurs in adolescents (median age 16.5-year-old), and commonly presents with drug-resistant epilepsy. AG is frequently localized in the supratentorial regions and only one patient is in the brainstem. Brain parenchyma atrophy, and stalk-like signs can observe in imaging. Pathologically, tumor cells are perivascular pseudorosettes, presenting immunoreactivity for GFAP, S-100, Vimentin, "dot-like" staining for EMA, and low proliferative activity. Focal cortex dysplasia was observed in four patients. Twelve of fourteen (85.7%) patients were found with MYB-QKI fusions. Completely surgical resection typically has a satisfactory prognosis with long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION:AG is a rare benign tumor with a favorable prognosis after complete resection, characterized by refractory epilepsy, frequently occurring in adolescents. MYB-QKI fusions were detected in most AG patients, as a good defining genetic alteration pathologically. The potential presence of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) may affect the prognosis of epilepsy.
Current histological classification of low-grade glioneuronal tumours does not adequately represent their underlying biology. The neural lineage(s) and differentiation stage(s) involved and the cell state(s) affected by the recurrent genomic alterations are unclear. Here, we describe dysregulated oligodendrocyte lineage developmental programmes in three low-grade glioneuronal tumour subtypes. Ten dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours, four myxoid glioneuronal tumours and five rosette-forming glioneuronal tumours were collected. Besides a comprehensive characterization of clinical features, known diagnostic markers and genomic alterations, we used comprehensive immunohistochemical stainings to characterize activation of rat sarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, involvement of neuronal component, resemblance to glial lineages and differentiation blockage along the stages of oligodendrocyte lineage. The findings were further complemented by gene set enrichment analysis with transcriptome data of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours from the literature. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours, myxoid glioneuronal tumours and rosette-forming glioneuronal tumours occur at different ages, with symptoms closely related to tumour location. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours and myxoid glioneuronal tumours contain oligodendrocyte-like cells and neuronal component. Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumours contained regions of rosette-forming neurocytic and astrocytic features. Scattered neurons, identified by neuronal nuclei antigen and microtubule-associated protein-2 staining, were consistently observed in all dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours and myxoid glioneuronal tumours examined, but only in one rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour. Pervasive neurofilament-positive axons were observed only in dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour and myxoid glioneuronal tumour samples. Alterations in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha occurred in a mutually exclusive manner, coinciding with strong staining of phospho-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase and low apoptotic signal. All dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours, myxoid glioneuronal tumours and the neurocytic regions of rosette-forming glioneuronal tumours showed strong expression of neuron-glia antigen 2, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (markers of oligodendrocyte precursor cells) and neurite outgrowth inhibitor-A (a marker of developing oligodendrocytes), but lacked the expression of oligodendrocyte markers ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 6 and myelin basic protein. Notably, transcriptomes of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours were enriched in oligodendrocyte precursor cell signature, but not in signatures of neural stem cells, myelinating oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour, myxoid glioneuronal tumour and rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour resemble oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and their enrichment of oligodendrocyte precursor cell phenotypes is closely associated with the recurrent mutations in rat sarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
Craniopharyngioma (CP) is a mostly benign tumor that is nonetheless one of most formidable skull base lesions. CP tends to recur, and scarce clinical results are available regarding its long-term outcomes. From February 1996 to April 2002, craniopharyngiomas primarily resected by open surgery in a single-center and single-surgeon practice were screened. Medical information regarding patients’ baseline, tumor parameters, endocrinological results, complications, and quality of life in those patients with a follow-up longer than 20 years were reviewed. Nineteen out of 187 patients who met the inclusion criteria were eligible, and 78.9

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of supratotal resection of frontal or temporal lobe glioblastoma by the postoperative cognitive function and overall survival. Methods The clinical data of patients with frontal or temporal lobe glioblastoma and treated from January 2010 to January 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.The patients underwent supratotal resection of glioblastoma after March 2012(trial group, 33 cases). Before March 2012, the patients underwent total resection of glioblastoma(control group,28 cases).The Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scores before operation and the 7th day after operation were used to evaluate the security, while overall survival was used to evaluate the feasibility. Variance analysis of repeated measurement quantitative data was used for the statistical analysis of the results. Multivariate Cox model was used as a method to estimate the independent association of a variable set with overall survival. Survival time observation was plotted by the Kaplan-Meier analysis,starting from the data of surgery.Results The MoCA scores in control group at the 7th day after operation were significantly lower than those before operation:(25.39 ± 3.04)scores vs.(26.67 ± 2.19)scores, t = 4.446,P < 0.05. The MoCA scores in trial group at the 7th day after operation were significantly lower than those before operation:(21.93 ± 4.46)scores vs.(25.39 ± 3.04) scores,t = 3.485,P < 0.05. The survival analysis of Kaplan-Meier method showed that age, surgical method and preoperative KPS scores were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the choice of surgical method and preoperative KPS was 0.286 and 0.965,respectively.The risk of death in control group was 0.286 times of that in trial group.The survival time of trial group was better than that of control group.Conclusions The cognitive function of patients with frontal or temporal glioblastoma may have a certain degree of decline after tumor resection or supratotal resection.Supratotal resection could represent a promising strategy that can impact on outcome in glioblastoma patients. Supratotal resection could be a factor influencing survival.
OBJECTIVE:A retrospective review of the surgical outcome for patients with craniopharyngioma (CP) treated in a single neurosurgical center with surgical resection using visualization to ensure hypothalamic preservation.METHODS:The study included 1054 patients. Before 2003, a pterional cranial approach was preferred for 78% of patients; after 2004, the unifrontal basal interhemispheric approach was performed in 79.1% of patients.RESULTS:Complete tumor resection was achieved in 89.6% of patients; vision improved in 47.1% of patients who had preoperative vision impairment. However, diabetes insipidus worsened in 70.4% of patients and new-onset diabetes insipidus occurred in 29.7% of the remaining patients. Pituitary stalk preservation occurred in 48.9% of cases. There were 89.6% of patients with total tumor removal; 13.3% of patients showed tumor recurrence within an average of 2.8 years. Of 69 follow-up patients with a subtotal or partial resection, 94.2% showed tumor recurrence within an average of 4.3 months. Of the total patients, 82.3% fully recovered.CONCLUSIONS:This study has shown that radical surgical resection of CP using microsurgical excision can be effective with a good patient outcome without more limitations on each individual tumor of distinct features despite the impact of recent endoscopic techniques on CP surgery. The surgical approach depends on a direct and wider visualization of CP located in the midline with preserving hypothalamic structures by identifying some hypothalamic landmark structures. After surgery, most patients can resume their normal activities even after aggressive tumor removal, although patients require postoperative hormonal replacement.
