Diffuse midline gliomas, H3 K27M-mutant are associated with less peritumoral edema and contrast enhancement in comparison to glioblastomas, H3 K27M-wildtype of midline structures.
<h4>Purpose</h4>The entity 'diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant (DMG)' was introduced in the revised 4th edition of the 2016 WHO classification of brain tumors. However, there are only a few reports on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of these tumors. Thus, we conducted a re...

However, there are only a few reports on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of these tumors. Thus, we conducted a retrospective survey focused on MRI features of DMG compared to midline glioblastomas H3 K27M-wildtype (mGBM-H3wt).<h4>Methods</h4>We identified 24 DMG cases and 19 mGBM-H3wt patients as controls. After being retrospectively evaluated for microscopic evidence of microvascular proliferations (MVP) and tumor necrosis by two experienced neuropathologists to identify the defining histological criteria of mGBM-H3wt, the samples were further analyzed by two experienced readers regarding imaging features such as shape, peritumoral edema and contrast enhancement.<h4>Results</h4>The DMG were found in the thalamus in 37.5% of cases (controls 63%), in the brainstem in 50% (vs. 32%) and spinal cord in 12.5% (vs. 5%). In MRI and considering MVP, DMG were found to be by far less likely to develop peritumoral edema (OR: 0.13; 95%-CL: 0.02-0.62) (p = 0.010). They, similarly, were associated with a significantly lower probability of developing strong contrast enhancement compared to mGBM-H3wt (OR: 0.10; 95%-CL: 0.02-0.47) (P = 0.003).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Despite having highly variable imaging features, DMG exhibited markedly less edema and lower contrast enhancement in MRI compared to mGBM-H3wt.
