* REPORT DETAILS *
Clinical profile: The patient is known case of left frontal glioblastoma status post surgery and chemo Radiotherapy.
Previous outside MRI study dated 20/09/2022 was available for review. However, exact Comparison is not possible
due to technical differences.
Left parietal craniotomy status noted with underlying mild dura thickening and enhancement - postoperative.
Well-defined lobulated solid cystic lesion is noted in the left high frontoparietal region with involvement of the pre
Central gyrus. Cystic component appears hyperintense on T2 and FLAIR with few internal isointense septations
In addition, shows peripheral and septal enharicement (no enhancement previously). It measures about 3 x 2.5cms
(1.8 x 1.3 cms previously) and about 3.6 cms in supero-inferior extent (1.5 cm previously). The eccentric solid
Component shows T2 intermediate to mildly hyperintense solid component along the left lateral aspect now
Appears to be stretched and along elongated and measures about 2.5 x 1.4 cm in the coronal plane (2x 0.9 Cms
previously) and about 2 cms in AP dimensions (1.5 cms previously)
Note is made of associated mild surrounding ill -defined nonenhancing T2 FLAIR hyperintense edema with no
Restricted diffusion involving the left frontoparletal subcortical and deep white matter extending inferiorly up to
the adjacent portion of the left centrum semiovale (mildly increased since the previous study).
Major intracranial flow voids appear unremarkable. No leptomeningeal enhancement or other parenchymal
Enhancing lesions.

Technical differences.
Left parietal craniotomy status noted with underlying mild dura thickening and enhancement - postoperative.
Well-defined lobulated solid cystic lesion now showing septal - peripheral enhancement, with an eccentric
irregular solid enhancing component in the left high frontoparietal region. The cystic component shows mild to
moderate increase in size since the previous study), with the solid component now stretched along its margin
and also appears more prominent, with mild increase in the surrounding T2 FLAIR hyperintense edema, These
findings suggest recurrent/ residual lesion along
With post, treatment changes and needs further follow-up.
Comment:
MRI and CT are roughly equivalent in detecting metas- tases, high-grade gliomas, and meningiomas that are
common in this older age group; CT is particularly indicated when cost, facility access, pacemaker, cranial metal,
agitation, claustrophobia, or back or arthritis pains preclude MRI scanning
Age < 40 yr Any new onset of cognitive or emotional dysfunction if associated with headache, nausea and
vomiting, papilledema, seizures, or focal deficits Unresponsiveness to appropriate drug treatment of presumed
psychiatric disease
Comment:
MRI is preferable to CT because it more accurately detect! Low-grade astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas,
which tend to occur in this age group

Remarks: After immobilization and CT-MRI fusion based simulation, patient was planned for
VMAT treatment, with daily CBCT verification (IGRT). Dose received by the post operative
Tumour bed and edema is 45Gy, and by the surgical cavity is 59.4Gy. He also received
Concurrent daily temozolomide (75mg/m2) with RT. He tolerated the treatment well and is
Advised to come for follow up after 4 weeks.
Procedure: DNA was extracted using Qiagen kit and was subjected to PCR using specific
primers for H3.3
(H3F3A) and H3.1 (HIST1H3B). The PCR product was purified using EXOSAP-IT (USB) followed by
Big Dye
Terminator Cycle sequencing v 3.1 kit (ABI). Gene specific PCR and cycle sequencing was
performed in Veriti
Thermal cycler (ABl). Sequencing product purification was done using Big Dye X-Terminator Kit
(ABl) and was
Subjected to sequencing on 3500 Genetic Analyzer (ABl). The chromatograms were analyzed on
Sequence
Analysis software.
Interpretation:
Sequencing showed no alteration in the nucleotide sequence (ie showed AAG (Lysine]) at codon
27 on exon
of H3F3A, codon 27 on exon 1 of HIST1H3C genes and at codon 34 (I.e. showed GGG
[Glycine]on exon 1 of
H3F3A. HIST1H3B is uninterpretable due to non-readable sequence
Comments:
The tumor is negative for histone (H3.3K27, H3.3G34 & H3.1K27) mutations.
This test will not detect mutations outside of the target regions that may have clinical significance. This result must be
evaluated in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory parameters. The standardization and performance of the assay has
been determined by Molecular Pathology Laboratory, Amiri Hospital. This test is used for clinical purposes.
This is to certify that Patient Ashuqulla “Abdolraziq” is a diagnosed case of (frontal Brain
Tumor) Patient Needs urgent surgery!
The modern surgery of brain tumor is not available in Afghanistan as per the advice of Pakistan
hospital that patient received he has to travel Pakistan for treatment and medical equipment
