Abstract
Intra-tumour heterogeneity is an important diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic challenge. Its extent and mechanism in brain tumours is incompletely understood[1]. We describe a malignant tumour with unique pathological and genetic features. Most notably the tumour contained mutations in the SMARCB1 gene (typically associated with Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumours[2]), the H3F3A gene (typically associated with high grade glioma in children[3]) and the BRAF gene. Furthermore, there was marked heterogeneity in mutation load between different parts of the tumour. This heterogeneity has implications both for the evolution of the tumour and for its diagnosis.
