Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS; OMIM# 601859) is a rare apoptotic disorder attributable to a failure in FAS-mediated apoptosis signaling [1, 2] that leads to lymphadenopathy, hypersplenism, and autoimmune cytopenia with childhood onset. The major determinants of morbidity and mortality in ALPS are the severity of the autoimmune disease; about 10% of patients develop malignant lymphoma [3-5]. We encountered a 23-year-old male with ALPS type 1A who developed a secondary anaplastic astrocytoma. This is the first reported case of its kind.Malignant astrocytoma is now known to develop via 2 different pathways [6]. Low-grade diffuse astrocytomas, commonly accompanied by IDH1 (> 80%) and TP53 (> 60%) mutations, eventually progress to a more malignant form of anaplastic astrocytoma followed by secondary glioblastoma [7, 8]. We present an extremely rare case of secondary anaplastic astrocytoma in an ALPS patient and document genetic alterations in the course of tumour progression, ie germline FAS mutation without IDH mutation. The patient was a 23-year-old male with ALPS type 1A manifesting a germline FAS mutation that resulted in the failure of FAS-mediated apoptosis signal transduction [9]. His sister had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, his mother was asymptomatic. His maternal grandmother had died at the age of 70 of secondary glioblastoma without signs of immunodeficiency. On his father's side there was no family history of immunodeficiency
