Numerous molecular alterations have been described in supratentorial high-grade gliomas (1p19q co-deletion, IDHI/2, histone H3, hTERT promotor mutations, loss of ATRX) which have led to a new histomolecular classification of diffuse gliomas. We aimed at describing these alterations in a series of 19 adults with pure cerebellar high-grade gliomas. Systematic immunohistochemical analyses, including that of IDHIR132H, ATRX, p53, PTEN, EGFR, p16, FGFR3, BRAFV600E, mismatch repair proteins, H3K27me3, H3K36me3. and H3K27M; molecular analyses of IDH1/2. hTERT, BRAF, H3F3A, and HIST1H3B mutation hotspots: and EGFR, PTEN FISH were retrospectively performed in a multicentric study. We histopathologically identified 14 glioblastomas, 4 grade III astrocytomas and 1 gliosarcoma. Two cases showed a H3F3A K27M mutation. Only one case harbored a classical profile of glioblastoma with hTERT mutation, EGFR gain and 10q loss. The most frequent alteration was the absence of p16 immunoexpression We report a histomolecular analysis of pure cerebellar high grade gliomas. The histomolecular profile appears to be different from that of supratentorial gliomas, with no IDH1/2 gene mutations and only 1 case with a classic profile of de novo glioblastoma. In 2 cases, we identified H3F3A K27M mutation, classically described in pediatric midline gliomas.
