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...

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%).
