Morphological and molecular features of astroblastoma, including BRAF(V600E) mutations, suggest an ontological relationship to other cortical-based gliomas of children and young adults

摘要

Background. Astroblastomas (ABs) are rare glial tumors showing overlapping features with astrocytomas, ependymomas, and sometimes other glial neoplasms, and may be challenging to diagnose.
