摘要
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in children comprise a highly heterogenous and complex group of diseases. Historically, diagnosis and confirmation of these tumors were routinely based on histological examination. However, recently obtained data demonstrate that such a diagnostic approach is not completely accurate and could lead to misdiagnosis. Also, in recent times, the quantity and quality of molecular diagnostic methods have greatly improved, which influences the current classification methods and treatment approach for pediatric CNS tumors. Nowadays, molecular methods, such as DNA methylation profiling, are an integral part of diagnosing brain and spinal tumors in children. In this paper, we present the case of an infant with a posterior fossa tumor who demonstrated a non-specific morphology and whose diagnosis was verified only after DNA methylation.
