Abstract

Central nervous system high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with BCOR alteration are a rare disease. Currently, there are only 24 cases reported in the literature. They are characterized by a change involving the BCOR gene and have a poor prognosis. Studies are needed to improve the current therapy and outcomes of these neoplasms. This case report describes the clinical history of a patient with this pathology and aims to contribute to the current knowledge about this new entity
