N2 - IDH-mutant astrocytomas carry significantly better prognosis compared to their IDH-wildtype grade 4 (glioblastoma) counterpart. Several molecular diagnostic markers have emerged in the 2021 CNS WHO classification, with powerful prognostic implications to consider when classifying diffuse IDH-mutant astrocytomas.1-3 EGFR amplification status, associated with aggressive glioma behavior4 and now regarded as a molecular feature of glioblastoma, is not currently a diagnostic consideration in IDH-mutant astrocytomas.1 Although uncommon, IDH-mutant astrocytomas with EGFR amplification exist in large published datasets but their relevance has been underemphasized and remains poorly understood.
