Abstract
Primary intracranial collision tumors are rare in patients without predisposing factors. We report such a case in a 42-year-old female who presented with headaches and altered mental status. Imaging revealed a single heterogeneous, rim-enhancing lesion in the left parieto-occipital periventricular region, involving the corpus callosum. Stereotactic biopsy demonstrated glioblastoma. Subsequent tumor resection showed histologic evidence of glioblastoma and meningioma. Next-generation sequencing was performed on both tumor components. The glioblastoma exhibited a CDKN2A homozygous deletion and novel missense mutations in TAF1L and CSMD3, while no definitive genetic alterations were identified in the meningioma. Next-generation sequencing may yield insight into molecular drivers of intracranial collision tumors and aid in identifying future therapeutic targets.
