Utilizing a retrospective pediatric cohort (1990-2021) of 56 CNS tumors, classified initially as primitive neuroectodermal tumors or CNS ET, we reclassified the cases based on WHO CNS5 criteria after comprehensive review and additional molecular testing that included next-generation sequencing and DNA methylation profiling. Our results indicate that OLIG2 immunopositivity was negative or minimal in a significant subset of pHGG cases (6 out of 11). At the same time, it showed diffuse expression in all cases of CNS neuroblastomas with FOXR2 activation (5/5), demonstrating its limited specificity in differentiating between pHGG and ET. Variable OLIG2 expression in other ETs, ATRT, and ETMR suggests the broader diagnostic implications of the marker. Furthermore, incidental findings of OLIG2 positivity in cases traditionally expected to be negative, such as medulloblastoma and ependymoma, introduce an additional layer of complexity. Together, these findings highlight the challenges of relying solely on OLIG2 immunostaining for accurate tumor classification in pediatric CNS neoplasms and underscore the importance of an integrated diagnostic approach.","PeriodicalId":16682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141786087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At recurrence, tumors resembled anaplastic PXA or high-grade astrocytomas without neuronal differentiation. CDKN2A homozygous deletion (HD) was absent in all primary tumors. At recurrence, 2 cases acquired CDKN2A HD; the third case showed loss of p16 and MTAP immunoexpression, but no CDKN2A/B HD or mutation was identified. By DNA methylation profiling, all primary and recurrent tumors either grouped or definitely matched to different methylation classes.
