PURPOSE: Nasal glioneuronal heterotopia (NGH) is an uncommon developmental abnormality of the nasal cavity or paranasal soft tissue. Few detailed histologic studies of NGH exist, and molecular analyses have not been performed to date.
METHODS: We describe six cases of pediatric NGH and two representative encephaloceles encountered in our practice over the past 20 years.
RESULTS: Two clinically distinct patient groups were noted, those with 1) intranasal nasal cavity mass (n = 3), or 2) extranasal cutaneous mass on the nose (n = 3, 1 on nasal apex, 2 on nasal bridge). Intranasal cases presented within the first week of life, whereas the extranasal NGH presented at ages of 4, 7, and 8 months. Resection was curative in 5/6 cases, with a single case showing local recurrence. Histologic examination showed a predominantly glial cell composition, with nests of GFAP-immunoreactive neuropil containing large, often multinucleated astrocytes. Neurons, although difficult to identify on H&E-stains, were readily observed in all cases by NeuN-immunostain. At least focal leptomeninges were noted in 2/3 intranasal and 1/3 extranasal NGHs on routine histology, SSTR2A immunohistochemistry further confirmed leptomeninges/ arachnoid cells in 4/6 cases. 1 of 4 NGH (extranasal) cases showed copy number variations in chromosome 16, 17 and 19, which were also present in 1/2 encephalocele cases. The full significance of these alterations remains unknown.
CONCLUSION: We find evidence of histologic overlap between NGH and encephalocele, and, for the first time, report molecular alterations shared between the two entities, suggesting that these conditions may represent spectrum of the same histopathologic entity.
