Abstract
BAP1-deficient meningiomas have a preferential infratentorial or spinal localization and may present with an undifferentiated histology of small or epithelioid cells rather than the meningothelial, rhabdoid or papillary variants. Frequent expression of cytokeratins may be misleading for a metastatic carcinoma but loss of BAP1 immunostaining in tumor cells and a specific methylation class enable the diagnosis. The clinical impact of the histomolecular diagnosis of BAP1-deficient meningioma is the high risk of relapse and a possible underlying BAP1 tumour predisposition syndrome.
期刊介绍:
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology is an international journal for the publication of original papers, both clinical and experimental, on problems and pathological processes in neuropathology and muscle disease. Established in 1974, this reputable and well respected journal is an international journal sponsored by the British Neuropathological Society, one of the world leading societies for Neuropathology, pioneering research and scientific endeavour with a global membership base. Additionally members of the British Neuropathological Society get 50% off the cost of print colour on acceptance of their article.
