Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB- or MYBL-altered is a low-grade, often pediatric-onset astrocytoma. It is very rare.
General
- CNS WHO grade 1.
- Entity introduced in 2021. [1]
- Rare epilepsy-associated tumor.
- No sex predilection.
Imaging
- T1 hypointense.
- Non-enhancing.
- Occasionally large cysts.
Gross
- Soft, unencapsulated.
- Grey to white.
Microscopic
Features:
- Diffusely growing.
- Minimal incereased cell density.
- Monomorphic, bland glial cells.
- Entrapped neurons.
- Usu. no mitotic activity
Notes:
- Focally angiocentric pattern may be present.
DDx
- Normal white matter
- Angiocentric glioma
Images
Smears
Stains
IHC
Features:
- GFAP +ve.
- Olig2 -ve.
- MAP2 -ve.
- CD34 -ve.
- ATRX retained.
Molecular
- Structural variant of MYB or MYBL1 (most common fusion partners: MAML2, MMP16 , PCDGHA1).[2]
- IDH1/2 wildtype.
- H3F3A wildtype.
Prognosis
- Excellent (
