    Immunohistochemical ATRX expression is not a surrogate for 1p19q codeletion

    The IDH-mutant and 1p/19q co-deletion (1p19q codel) provides significant diagnostic and prognostic value in lower-grade gliomas. As ATRX mutation and 1p19q codel are mutually exclusive, ATRX immunohistochemistry ...

    Malignant transformation of a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor verified by a shared copy number gain of the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1

    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are regarded as benign glioneuronal neoplasms because of their excellent outcomes; however, rare DNTs show malignant transformation. We herein described a case of...
