Abstract

New methods of molecular testing are improving diagnostic accuracy and reliability beyond what the traditional light microscope can provide. In the current case, methylome profiling and next-generation sequencing were used to prove that tumors in the chest wall and spine were metastases from what, by histology, appeared to be a low-grade cerebral glioma. They also identified a targetable BRAF V600E mutation that dictated subsequent therapy, to which the patient responded.
