1 74 Male III 4/10 Right frontal DOD 2.5 years later
2 51 Female “Atypical features” 0/10 Left parietal Recurrence 4 years later with malignant transformation to GBM; DOD 1 year after recurrence
3 45 Male “Atypical features” 1/10 Right temporal Recurrence 6 years later diagnosed as grade II‐III astrocytoma, treated with temozolomide and radiation
4 45 Male “Atypical features” 0/10 Left frontal Postsurgical radiation, recurrence 5 years later, progression to grade III oligodendroglioma two years after initial recurrence; DOD 13 years after original diagnosis
5 52 Male I 0/10 Frontal Radiation after surgery, recurrence 15 years after initial diagnosis; no follow‐up information since then
6 20 Male I 2/10 Left posterior frontal lobe Recurrence 5 years after diagnosis, treated with radiation
7 44 Male I 2/10 Not specified Alive 8 years after surgery, no additional information available
8 38 Female “Atypical features” 0/10 Right parietal Residual/recurrent tumor within 1 year of surgery, treated with radiation

Eight of the 98 cases studied had IDH1 mutations; all were wild type for IDH2. Common features include advanced age and trends toward extratemporal location and mitoses. Most have already shown aggressive behavior.
