Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour, abbreviated DNET[1] and DNT,[2] is a rare neuropathology tumour that is associated with epilepsy.

General

  • Common benign mixed neuronal-glial tumour cause of drug resistant epilepsy.[3]
  • Paediatric population.
  • WHO grade I (ICD-O: 9413/0)

Gross/radiology

  • Temporal lobe, usually cortical.
  • Variable architecture:[4] cystic, solitary nodular, multinodular.
    • DNET, simple form (only glioneuronal element)[5]
    • DNET, complex form (multinodular architecture of astrocytic or oligodendroglial origin)[6]
    • DNET, non-specific histological form (debated, lacking glioneuronal element) [7]
  • Adjacent cortical dysplasia in up to 80%[8]

Microscopic

Features:[4][9]

  • Usu. multiple intracortical nodules.
  • Loose textured internodular component (Specific glioneuronal element):
    • Axonal columns oriented to the surface
    • Floating neurons in eosinophilic matrix
    • Lined by cells similar to oligodendrocytes:
      • Large central nuclei with indentations.
      • Multiple small nucleoli (common).
      • Clear cytoplasm.
    • few stellated astrocytes


IHC:[10]

  • MAP2+ve in oligodendroglia-like cells
  • CD34 in 61%
  • Calbindin in 57%
  • Nestin in 86%
  • MIB-1 (Ki-67) 0-8%

Molecular:[11]

  • BRAF V600E
  • FGFR1 tandem duplication (FGFR1-TKDD)

DDx:

  • Oligodendroglioma.
    • These have rounder, smaller nuclei with occasional nucleoli.[4]
    • LOH1p/19q is not seen in DNET. [12]
  • Astrocytoma, protoplasmatic variant.
    • infiltrative microcystic formations may mimic glioneuronal element
  • Ganglioglioma.
    • Has reticulin fibers, lymphocytic cuffs and large cysts.
  • Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young” (PLNTY).
    • Usu. strongly CD34+ve.
