Abstract: Patients diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) are extremely likely to develop meningiomas, in addition to vestibular schwannomas. Meningiomas are a common primary brain tumor; many NF2 patients suffer from multiple meningiomas. In NF2, patients have mutations in the NF2 gene, specifically with loss of function in a tumor-suppressor protein that has a number of synonymous names, including: Merlin, Neurofibromin 2, and schwannomin. Merlin is a 70 kDa protein that has 10 different isoforms. The Hippo Tumor Suppressor pathway is regulated upstream by Merlin. This pathway is critical in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis, characteristics that are important for tumor progression. -

Malignant Glioma Arising at the Site of an Excised Cerebellar Hemangioblastoma After Irradiation in a Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Patient
DOI 10.3349/ymj.2009.50.4.576 Case Report pISSN: 0513-5796, eISSN: 1976-2437 Yonsei Med J 50(4): 576-581, 2009 Malignant Glioma Arising at the Site of an Excised Cerebellar Hemangioblastoma after Irradiation in a von Hippel-Lindau Disease Patient Na-Hye Myong1 and Bong-Jin Park2 1Department of Pathology, Dankook University College of Medicine, Cheonan; 2Department of Neurosurgery, Kyunghee University Hospital, Seoul, Korea. We describe herein a malignant glioma arising at the site of the resected hemangioblastoma after irradiation in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). The patient was a 25 year-old male with multiple heman- gioblastomas at the cerebellum and spinal cord, multiple pancreatic cysts and a renal cell carcinoma; he was diagnosed as having VHL disease. The largest hemangioblastoma at the right cerebellar hemisphere was completely removed, and he received high-dose irradiation postoperatively. The tumor recurred at the same site 7 years later, which was a malignant glioma with no evidence of hemangioblastoma. The malignant glioma showed molecular genetic profiles of radiation-induced tumors because of its diffuse p53 immunostaining and the loss of p16 immunoreactivity. The genetic study to find the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of VHL gene revealed that only the cerebellar hemangioblastoma showed allelic losses for the gene. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to show a malignant glioma that developed in a patient with VHL disease after radiation therapy at the site of an excised hemangioblastoma. This report also suggests that radiation therapy should be performed very carefully in VHL patients with hemangioblastomas. -
Information About Mosaic Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2)
Information about mosaic Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) NF2 occurs because of a mutation (change) in the NF2 gene. When this change is present at the time of conception the changed gene will be present in all the cells of the baby. When this mutation occurs later in the development of the forming embryo, the baby will go on to have a mix of cells: some with the “normal” genetic information and some with the changed information. This mix of cells is called mosaicism. Approximately half the people who have a diagnosis of NF2 have inherited the misprinted NF2 gene change from their mother or father who will also have NF2. They will have that misprinted gene in all the cells of their body. When they have their children, there will be a 1 in 2 chance of passing on NF2 to each child they have. However about half of people with NF2 are the first person in the family to be affected. They have no family history and have not inherited the condition from a parent. When doctors studied this group of patients more closely they noticed certain characteristics. Significantly they observed that fewer children had inherited NF2 than expected some people in this group had relatively mild NF2 NF2 tumours in some patients tended to grow on one side of their body rather than both sides that when a blood sample was tested to identify the NF2 gene, the gene change could not be found in 30-40% of people This lead researchers to conclude that this group of people were most likely to be mosaic for NF2 i.e. -

6 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Chapter 6 / MRI 105 6 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Paul M. Ruggieri Summary Magnetic resonance (MR) is clearly the accepted imaging standard for the preliminary evalua- tion, peri-operative management, and routine longitudinal follow-up of patients with high-grade glio- mas (HGG). The purpose of this chapter is to review the imaging characteristics of HGG using conventional MR imaging techniques. Whereas the newer techniques of MR diffusion, perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging, and MR spectroscopy will be included as part of this discussion of the high grade neoplasms, the detailed concepts of such studies will be discussed elsewhere in this text. Key Words: MR imaging; anaplastic astrocytoma; glioblastoma multiforme; gliosarcoma; gliomatosis cerebri; oligodendroglioma. INTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance (MR) is clearly the accepted imaging standard for the preliminary evaluation, peri-operative management, and routine longitudinal follow-up of patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG). The purpose of this chapter is to review the imaging characteristics of HGG using conventional MR imaging techniques. Whereas the newer techniques of MR diffusion, perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging, and MR spectroscopy will be included as part of this discussion of the high grade neoplasms, the detailed concepts of such studies will be discussed elsewhere in this text. In general terms, high-grade glial neoplasms are conventionally thought of as infiltrative parenchymal masses that are hyperintense on FLAIR fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and T2-weighted images, hypointense on unenhanced T1-weighted images, may or may not extend into the corpus callosum, are surrounded by extensive vasogenic edema, and prominently enhance following gadolinium administration. It must be pointed out that this description is clearly just a generalization as many high-grade neoplasms clearly do not follow these “rules” and some of these characteristics may even be seen in low-grade neoplasms. -

Note 4: There must be a histologic, cytologic, radiographic, or clinical diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm /3. Note 5: Tumors from a number of primary sites metastasize to the brain. Do not use these rules for tumors described as metastases; report metastatic tumors using the rules for that primary site.
