Expanding the spectrum of "mesenchymal" tumors of the central nervous system.

Abstract

In this review, we summarize the clinical, histopathological, and molecular features of central nervous system (CNS) tumors with BCOR internal tandem duplication, intracranial mesenchymal tumor with FET/CREB fusion, CNS CIC-rearranged sarcomas and primary intracranial sarcoma DICER1-mutant, now included in the 2021 WHO classification of CNS tumors. Possible relationships between tumors occurring in the CNS and their systemic counterparts are discussed.
