Abstract
Adolescent and young adult gliomas are recently being studied as a distinct group and molecular alterations of oligodendroglioma in this group are not well defined. Few studies conducted on adolescent oligodendroglioma so far have found low frequencies of IDH mutations and 1p/19q co-deletion, which are the hallmark genetic alterations seen in adult oligodendroglioma. In this case report, we demonstrate presence of rare IDH2 mutation and 1p/19q co-deletion in an adolescent oligodendroglioma.
