Intracranial mesenchymal tumors with <i>FET–CREB</i> fusion

Abstract

Intracranial mesenchymal tumors with rearrangements of the genes of the FET and CREB families were first described in the 2021 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system. At the moment, the criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors have not been unambiguously defined. This article presents two exceptionally rare clinical cases of adolescent patients with IMT with the presence of gene rearrangement of the FET and CREB gene families, who were treated and examined at the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. The patients’ parents gave consent to the use of their children's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
