Rare Recurrent EWSR1-PLAGL1 Rearranged Intracranial Tumor With Biphasic Epithelioid Differentiation: One Case Report With Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: EWSR1-rearranged tumors encompass a rare and heterogeneous group of entities with features of the central nervous system (CNS) mesenchymal and primary glial/neuronal tumors. EWSR1-PLAGL1 gene fusion is a particularly rare form of rearrangement. We presented a recurrent intracranial EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearranged tumor and reviewed the relevant literature. In this case, histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were evaluated for both the primary and relapsed tumors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed for the relapsed tumor. We compared the morphology, IHC results and molecular features with the previously reported EWSR1-PLAGL1 rearranged CNS tumors. Our case exhibited a unique feature with a variable biphasic pattern of epithel
