Glioblastoma Arising in Lynch-like Syndrome after Repeated Development of Colorectal Cancers

We herein report a patient with Lynch-like syndrome in whom a brain tumor (glioblastoma) developed after repeated resection of colorectal cancer. The patient had a significant family history of cancer. Immunohistochemical expression of mismatch repair proteins was decreased in both brain and colon tumors, but no pathogenic variant of the related genes was detected. Although brain tumors occasionally develop in Lynch syndrome, they have not been reported in cases of Lynch-like syndrome. This first report of Lynch-like syndrome with the development of glioblastoma suggests the need for further investigation on the surveillance of brain tumors in patients with this syndrome.

Abstract

We herein report a patient with Lynch-like syndrome in whom a brain tumor (glioblastoma) developed after repeated resection of colorectal cancer. The patient had a significant family history of cancer. Immunohistochemical expression of mismatch repair proteins was decreased in both brain and colon tumors, but no pathogenic variant of the related genes was detected. Although brain tumors occasionally develop in Lynch syndrome, they have not been reported in cases of Lynch-like syndrome. This first report of Lynch-like syndrome with the development of glioblastoma suggests the need for further investigation on the surveillance of brain tumors in patients with this syndrome.
