摘要

Extracranial metastasis of IDH-wildtype glioblastoma is very rare and poorly understood at the molecular level. We report a case of FGFR3::TACC3 fusion IDH-wildtype glioblastoma in a 61-year-old male, whose preoperative blood sample showed highly aberrant cfDNA fragmentation patterns, which could be suggestive of early systemic dissemination, undetected by standard-of-care imaging of his body. Eleven months post-resection and adjuvant therapy, he developed widespread extracranial metastases. Comprehensive molecular profiling of matched primary and metastatic tumors revealed broadly conserved genomic, transcriptomic, and copy number landscapes, with the metastasis harboring an additional ERCC6 deletion and enriched expression of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling genes. These findings provide rare insight into the genetic continuity and evolution underlying IDH-wildtype glioblastoma metastasis.
