Abstract
We report a case of a 26-year-old Chinese man who had experienced three grand mal seizures in the past two months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a relatively well-circumscribed lesion in the left frontal lobe. A craniotomy with total excision of the tumor was performed. Histopathological investigations confirmed a grade 2 ependymoma according to the World Health Organization classification. Genetic analysis revealed a tumor harboring FAM118B fusion to YAP1, and no other genetic alterations or methylation of the O6 -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene promoter were detected. This is the second case report of ependymoma with YAP1:FAM118B fusion.Entities:
