Sumario: | Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome is a rare cancer predisposition syndrome in children. Its main associated tumor types include brain and CNS tumors, hematologic malignancies, intestinal polyps and colorectal tumors, and other malignancies. Tumor genesis within this population is highly complex and poorly understood. We describe a case of a patient with two occurrences of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), each with unique NF1 mutations. The patient is a female with CMMRD who was first diagnosed with GBM of the right frontal lobe in 2015. She subsequently underwent gross total resection, radiation to the field and concomitant and maintenance therapy with Temozolomide and Everolimus, due to high suspicion for NF-1. Genetic studies didn’t show NF-1, instead revealing a diagnosis of CMMRD. Molecular testing of the GBM showed a high mutational burden and an NF1 mutation. Later, screening revealed stage IV colon cancer, for which she underwent subtotal colectomy, partial liver resection and chemotherapy. Molecular testing from the colon cancer found a hypermutant malignancy without mutations in NF1. Surveillance imaging detected a mass at the original site of her GBM, for which she had a resection. Notably, the genetic profile of the second tumor substantially different from the original tumor and the colon cancer sample, but had new mutations in NF-1. These findings highlight the significant variability in the genetic profiles of tumors in the context of CMMRD. It is also worth considering that NF1 is one of the first in a cascade of mutations leading to GBM in these patients. |
