"Molecular characteristics"

Line 11:1 · "Molecular characteristics" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Due to the small number of patients reported, it is difficult to make strong pronouncements on the epidemiology of this tumour; however, cases so far appear to be primarily in middle-aged and elderly individuals ^1,3,4. Neurofibromatosis type 1 appears to be a fairly strong association ^1,4."

Line 3:130 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Due to the small number of cases reported to date, specific or even suggestive imaging features are not yet evident especially as the tumours that have been described are heterogeneous in location (see above) and appearance ^1,4."

Line 24:49 · Use the Oxford comma in 'date, specific or even'.

"Generally, they appear to be heterogeneously/peripherally enhancing lesions with low T1 and high T2/FLAIR signal but usually without diffusion restriction of either central or peripheral components ^1,4. Cystic areas, necrosis and elevated perfusion have been reported ⁴."

Line 25:225 · Use the Oxford comma in 'areas, necrosis and elevated'.

There Is

suggestion

"No tumour specific treatments are available at this time with treatment being empirical consisting of maximal safe surgical resection with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (e.g. temozolomide) ¹. There is a suggestion that NF1-associated HGAP may respond mTOR and MAPK inhibitors ⁴."

Line 29:213 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
