Rarely, germline pathogenic aberrations in these genes are associated with the development of primary central nervous system tumors. We present a report of an adult female with no prior cancer history who presented with a multicentric, infiltrative supratentorial glioma involving both the left anterior temporal horn and left precentral gyrus. Surgical treatment and neuropathological/molecular evaluation of these lesions revealed discordant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status and histologic grade at these spatially distinct disease sites. A frameshift alteration within the MLH1 gene (p.R217fs∗ 12, c.648delT) was identified in both lesions and subsequently identified in germline testing of a blood sample, consistent with Lynch syndrome. Despite distinct histopathologic features and divergent IDH status of the patient’s tumors, the molecular findings suggest that both sites of intracranial neoplasia may have developed as a consequence of underlying monoallelic germline mismatch repair deficiency. This case illustrates the importance of characterizing the genetic profile of multicentric gliomas and highlights the oncogenic potential of germline mismatch repair gene pathogenic alterations within central nervous system gliomas.  \n[Supplemental material is available for this article.]  \nCASE PRESENTATION  \nA 36-yr-old female with a history of cortical venous sinus thrombosis presented to our institution complaining of worsening headaches and seizures. Brain imaging obtained on admission revealed noncontiguous, T2/FLAIR hyperintense, non–contrast enhancing lesions involving the left temporal pole and left precentral gyrus. These findings raised concern for a multicentric low-grade infiltrating glioma. Though surgery was recommended, the patient opted to not pursue surgery at the time and was discharged with a plan for further follow-up. She was readmitted 1 month later for recurrent seizures, with radiographic evidence  \nCite this article as Tan et al. 2023 Cold Spring Harb Mol Case Stud 9: a006280 1 of 8  \nC O L D S P R I N G H A R B O R  \nMolecular Case Studies  \nMulticentric glioma in Lynch syndrome  \nof disease progression and clinical concern for elevated intracranial pressure and local mass effect.
