Abstract excerpt
Among the most challenging diagnostic issues in surgical neuropathology is the distinction between scant infiltration by diffuse gliomas and reactive gliosis. The best documented ancillary marker to establish a definitive diagnosis of glioma in this setting is the identification of hotspot mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/IDH2) genes, which is limited, however, by the low prevalence of...
