---|---|---|
Integrated diagnosis | Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, WHO grade IV | Embryonal tumor with rhabdoid features, WHO grade IV |
Histological classification | Embryonal tumor with rhabdoid features | Embryonal tumor with rhabdoid features |
WHO grade | IV | IV |
Molecular information | INI1 loss of protein expression/mutation or BRG1 loss of protein expression/mutation | INI1 and BRG1 protein expression retained/not mutated or molecular/immunohistochemical testing not performed |
In this example, using the layered diagnosis format, the integrated diagnosis of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is only possible in the setting of either INI1 or BRG1 loss of protein expression or mutation (column A); without these findings, only a descriptive diagnosis is possible (column B). (Note that this is an example only and that the eventual definition will result from the WHO classification updating process.)
