Cancer Category/Type

  • Diffuse astrocytic and olidodendroglial tumors

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (IDH-wt)

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Rare histologic variant of IDH-wt glioblastoma [1]
  • Large, multinucleate giant cells with occasional abundant reticuln network [1]

Synonyms / Terminology

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • Constitute <1% of glioblastomas [2]
  • May be more common in pediatric population [3]
  • Mean age 51 years [3]

Clinical Features

  • No evidence of a precursor lesion [1]
  • Presenting symptoms similar to IDH-wt glioblastoma
  • Radiographically and grossly circumscribed borders, may be mistaken for other neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions [4]

Sites of Involvement

  • Localization similar to IDH-wt glioblastoma [3][2]

Morphologic Features

  • Bizarre, multi-nucleate giant cells with atypical mitotic figures [5]
  • Cells may contain numerous nuclei [1]
  • Palisading and ischemic necrosis [1]
  • Pseudo-rosette like perivascular tumor cell concentration [1]
