The WHO classification of tumors of the CNS in 2016 defined "diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant" as a new tumor entity locating in the CNS midline. However, the H3 K27M-mutation in "non-midline" glioblastoma are rare and their characteristics have been rarely reported. A 16-year-old girl presented a hyper-intense lesion at her left temporal stem on T2WI, FLAIR and DWI. Biopsy was performed and molecular pathological diagnosis was glioblastoma with H3 K27M-mutant. Accordingly, the possibility of H3 K27M-mutant should be examined not only for diffuse glioma without IDH mutation that develops at a midline location, but also in non-midline locations.
2016 年世界卫生组织中枢神经系统肿瘤分类将“弥漫性中线胶质瘤,H3 K27M 突变型”定义为一种新的位于中枢神经系统中线的肿瘤实体。然而,“非中线”胶质母细胞瘤中 H3 K27M 突变非常罕见,其特征很少被报道。一名 16 岁女孩的 T2WI、FLAIR 和 DWI 显示左侧颞干有高信号病变。进行了活检,分子病理诊断为 H3 K27M 突变型胶质母细胞瘤。因此,不仅对于发生在中线位置且无 IDH 突变的弥漫性胶质瘤,而且对于非中线位置,都应检查 H3 K27M 突变的可能性。
