Other CNS embryonal tumor, was introduced in the WHO 2016 classification of CNS tumors. Some of these tumors of this category has been previously designated as CNS-PNET but this terminology has been abandoned.
General
Other CNS embryonal tumours are a group of primitive neuroeptithelial tumors that are to be classified in distinct molecular groups in the future. Currently it is a exlcusion criteria encompassing four subgroups
- CNS neuroblastomas
- CNS ganglioneuroblastomas.
- often characterized by FOXR2 fusions: CNS neuroblastoma with FOXR2 activation (NB‐FOXR2)
- CNS medulloepithelioma.
- but absence of C19MC alteration, otherwise classified as ETMR
- CNS embryonal tumour, NOS
- Similarities to astroblastoma: High‐grade neuroepithelial tumours with MN1 alteration (HGNET‐MN1)
- NUTM1-positive IHC: Ewing's sarcoma family tumour with CIC alteration (EFT‐CIC)
- BCOR-positive IHC: HGNET BCOR‐altered neuroepithelial tumours
