Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted

Definition / Description of Disease

A molecularly defined diffusely infiltrating glioma with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and codeletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q[1] .

Oligodendrogliomas are graded morphologically as either CNS WHO grade 2 or CNS WHO grade 3.

In rare cases where molecular studies are unable to be completed or have failed, tumors can be histologically diagnosed as Oligodendroglioma, NOS (not otherwise specified).

Synonyms / Terminology

Anaplastic oligodendroglioma (historical; now known as oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, CNS WHO grade 3).

Oligoastrocytoma (discouraged; oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma are molecularly distinct entities. The diagnosis is reserved for rare cases where a dual genotype is identified, or where molecular testing could not be completed).

Epidemiology / Prevalence

-         Epidemiological statistics should be interpreted with caution as oligodendroglioma is now molecularly defined

  •   A subset of tumor historically diagnosed as oligodendroglioma on morphological grounds may therefore not meet current definition

-         Oligodendrogliomas occur primarily in adults (median age 43 years for CNS WHO grade 2 and 50 years for CNS WHO grade 3)[2]

  •   Slight male preponderance (M:F = 1.2:1[2])

-         Low incidence worldwide

  •   Incidence is changing over time due to refined molecular definition
    •   Incidence rate (cases per 100,000 person-years) for histologically defined oligodendroglioma – 0.10% (Republic of Korea; [3]), 0.50 (France [4]), 0.23 (USA 31675094[2]
    • Incidence rate for histologically defined CNS WHO Grade 3 oligodendroglioma – 0.06% (Republic of Korea[3]), 0.39 (France [4]), 0.11 (USA[2])
  •   CNS WHO grade 2 oligodendrogliomas account for 0.9% of primary brain tumors in US (PMID: 34608945)[2]
  •   CNS WHO grade 3 oligodendrogliomas account of primary brain tumors in the US(PMID: 34608945)[2]

Clinical Features

-         Oligodendrogliomas are most often low-grade, slow growing tumors

  •   Tumors are frequently asymptomatic and are increasingly found incidentally on imaging for other indications[5]

-         Most commonly present with seizures[6]

-         Can present with focal neurologic deficits or cognitive changes secondary to increased cranial pressure, especially in the high grade setting[6]

Signs and Symptoms Seizures[6]

Headache

Signs of increased intracranial pressure

-         Focal neurologic deficits

-         Cognitive changes

Asymptomatic

-         Increasingly an incidental finding on neuroimaging (PMID: 29186201)

Laboratory Findings Not applicable

Sites of Involvement

-         Approximately 60% of oligodendrogliomas occur within the frontal lobes with[1][2]

  •   14-16% in the temporal lobe
  •   10-15% in the parietal lobe
  •   1-6% in the occipital lobe
  •   Less commonly basal ganglia / cerebellum brainstem

-         Leptomeningeal spread and gliomatosis cerebri pattern can rarely occur[7] [8]

-         Rare spinal lesions have been reported but lack genotyping to confirm true oligodendroglioma[9] [10]

-         Extracranial metastasis exceedingly rare (CNS WHO grade 3)[11] [12] [13]

Morphologic Features

-         Classically consist of cells with round, monomorphous nuclei with stippled chromatin and perinuclear halos (artifactual fried-egg appearance)

-         Intervening delicate “chicken wire” vasculature

-         Can contain GFAP-positive minigemistocytes

-         Often contain microcalcifications, especially in low-grade tumors[1]

Immunophenotype


Finding Marker
Positive (universal) Retained nuclear ATRX[14], OLIG2[15], S100[16], MAP2[17], SOX10[18]
Positive (subset) Most positive for IDH1 p.R132H mutation (smaller subset lacking staining have non-canonical IDH mutation, <10%)[19]

Synaptophysin (cytoplasmic dot-like pattern[20])

Negative (universal) Lack diffuse p53[14]
Negative (subset) N/A

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

-         Oligodendrogliomas are defined by a t(1;19)(q10;p10) rearrangement that results in 1p/19q whole-arm codeletion

  •   This alteration is now required to make the diagnosis of oligodendroglioma
Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes

Epigenomic Alterations

-         IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendrogliomas have hypermethylation of multiple CpG islands (PMID: 20399149)

  •   This corresponds to a distinct glioma CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP)
    •   More prevalent in lower grade gliomas
    • Tightly associated with IDH1/2 mutations
