Molecular analyses of rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor of the midbrain tegmentum: A report of two cases and a review of the FGFR1 status in unusual tumor locations

CONCLUSION: Midbrain tegmentum RGNTs exhibited typical histological features but varied FGFR1 statuses with TERT mutation. RGNT in rare locations may carry different molecular alterations than those in other common locations, such as the posterior fossa.PMID:35673672 | PMC:PMC9168299 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_55_2022
