Popis: | Detection of BRAF V600E mutation in glioblastomas (GBMs) is important because of potential therapeutic implications. Still, the relative paucity of these mutations makes molecular detection in all GBMs controversial. In the present study, we analyzed clinical, radiographic and pathologic features of 12 BRAF V600E-mutant GBMs and 12 matched controls from 2 institutions. We found that a majority of BRAF V600E-mutant GBMs displayed a combination of well-circumscribed lesions, large cystic components with thin walls and solid cortical component on MRI, but with some overlap with matched BRAF wildtype controls (p = 0.069). BRAF V600E-mutant GBMs were also apt to gross total resection (83% vs 17%, p = 0.016) and morphologically displayed epithelioid features (83% vs 0%, p |
