Central nervous system schwannoma, VGLL-fused (EWSR1::VGLL1 fusion) with neuroblastoma-like cell dense areas in the frontal lobe of a young man with schwannomatosis due to a germline LZTR1 mutation [PDF]
Free NeuropathologyWe report a central nervous system schwannoma, VGLL-fused in a young man’s frontal lobe. Somatic abnormalities included an EWSR1::VGLL1 fusion, which incorporated the entire translated region of VGLL1, but excluded most domains of EWSR1.
