Mixed Glial Tumor??? Help

Hi there-

I am reaching out to see if anyone has experience with my tumor type, as I feel extremely alone and in the dark.

My tumor was located in my left parietal lobe and was resected February of 2022. The ultimate diagnosis came out to be: A mixed glioneuronal tumor with cross features of a pilocytic astrocytoma, ganglioglioma, and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma. The MIB rate was 2-3%. It stained weakly for BRAF, which was interpreted as a negative stain, and the only other genetic mutation that was present was focal p53. Under a microscope it was described to have hyper-cellularity and nuclear atypia.

I understand these genetic features do not meet the diagnostic criteria for any one tumor type. It seems that makes the likelihood of recurrence totally up in the air and no one seems to be able to help me answer that question. Is it possible the tumor was transforming to a malignancy when it was resected? I don't understand how its cellular features and genetic tendencies don't match a classic low grade glioma (from my albeit limited understanding), yet that is how it was diagnosed.

If anyone has experience with low grade, mixed gliomas, please share! 🙂
