ABSTRACT
Astroblastomas are neuroepithelial tumours defined by the presence of MN1 rearrangement and are typically located in the cerebral hemispheres. Rare cases of astroblastoma-like tumours carrying an EWSR1-BEND2 fusion have been recently described in the brain stem and spinal cord. We report a paediatric case of neuroepithelial astroblastoma-like tumour occurring in the spine and carrying a novel MAMLD1-BEND2 fusion. We believe that our case aligns with the rare astroblastoma-like tumours with EWSR1-BEND2 fusion, in terms of non-hemispheric location, pathology, methylation profile and activation of BEND2 transcription. Whether they may represent a distinct entity or a variant of MN1-altered astroblastoma is not clear.
