Abstract：
Astroblastoma is an uncommon circumscribed glial tumor mostly involving the cerebral hemisphere. The characteristic molecular alteration is meningioma (disrupted in balanced translocation) 1 (MN1) rearrangement. No definite World Health Organization grade has been assigned as both low- and high-grade tumors are known to occur. Tumors in the spine are extremely rare; to date only three cases have been reported in the literature. A vigilant microscopy and ancillary testing aid in diagnosis when the tumors present in unusual locations, as in our case. The prompt differentiation of this tumor from its mimickers is a mandate as modalities of management are different and not clearly established.
摘要：
星形母细胞瘤是一种罕见的局限性神经胶质肿瘤，主要累及大脑半球。特征性分子改变是脑膜瘤(在平衡易位中被破坏)1(MN1)重排。尚未确定世界卫生组织的等级，因为已知会发生低级和高级肿瘤。脊柱肿瘤极为罕见；迄今为止，文献中仅报道了三例。当肿瘤出现在不寻常的位置时，警惕的显微镜和辅助测试有助于诊断，就像我们的情况一样。由于管理方式不同且尚未明确建立，因此必须迅速将该肿瘤与其模拟物区分开。
