Glioblastoma a very common malignant primary brain tumour in adults. It has a very poor prognosis.

It was previously known as glioblastoma multiforme, abbreviated GBM.

General

  • Median survival is measured in months.[1]
  • Only about 5% can expect to survive more than three years.[2]
  • Current classification recognizes three types:
    • Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (aka primary GBM, ICD-O: 9440/3).
    • Glioblastoma, IDH-mutant (aka secondary GBM, ICD-O: 9445/3).
    • Glioblastoma, NOS (lack of molecular data).

Macroscopy

Features:

  • Usu. in white matter.
    • central necrotic core.
    • ill-defined borders.
    • yellowish to dark-brown changes.
    • midline shift due to tumor mass.
  • In the corpus callosum as bihemispheric "butterfly glioma"

  • Ring-enhancement in GBM (WC/Hellerhoff)

  • Left insular GBM macroscopy (WC/Sbrandner)

  • "Butterfly glioma" (WC/AFIP)

Microscopic

Features:

  • Astrocytic tumour with:
    • Nuclear atypia.
    • Necrosis.
    • Endothelial proliferation (AKA microvascular proliferation).
    • +/-"Pseudopalisading necrosis" - tumour cells lined-up like a picket fence around necrotic areas.

Glioblastoma variants:

  • Giant cell glioblastoma (ICD-O: 9441/3)
    • Bizarre multinucleated giant cells.
    • Reticulin may be abundant.
    • Mean age 44 years, outcome somewhat better than conventional GBM.
    • IDH-wildtype, but frequent p53 mutations.
  • Epitheloid glioblastoma (ICD-O: 9440/3) [3]
    • Closely packed epithelioid to rhabdoid cells, often dicohesive.
    • Xanthomaous changes less common than in PXA.
    • Children and young adults, outcome particularly poor.
    • Up to 50% BRAF V600E mutations.
  • Gliosarcoma (ICD-O: 9442/3)


Morphological patterns in Glioblastoma:

  • Lipidized (foamy)cells [4]
  • Adipocyte-like maturation [5]
  • Rhabdoid glioblastoma (focal loss of INI-1) [6]
  • Melanotic glioblastoma [7]
  • Glioblastoma with oligodendroglial component (no improved survival) [8]
  • Granular cell Glioblastoma [9]
  • Glioblastoma with primitive neuronal component.[10]
    • formerly known as: PNET-like component.
    • have a tendency to CSF dissemination.[11]
  • Small cell glioblastoma.
  • Ependymal-like growth patterns.
  • Glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands.[12]

Molecular

  • IDH1/2 sequencing in cases below 55 years is mandatory to separate between Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype and Glioblastoma IDH-mutant.
    • In cases above 55 years, negative IDH1 R132H immunohistochemistry may be sufficient.
  • 70% of IDH-wildtype glioblastoma show chr.7 gain and chr.10 loss.[13]
  • Most common alterations (TCGA[14])
    • Tp53 (42% of the tumors mutated)
    • PTEN (33%).
    • NF1 (21%).
    • EGFR (18%).
    • RB1 (11%).
    • PI3K-pathway genes (7-10%).
  • Pediatric glioblastoma
    • are morphologically indistinct from adult GBM.
    • show frequent H3F3A mutations and PDGFRA mutations (Note: H3F3A K27M mutations are classified as K27 mutated midline glioma).
    • Consider Epithelioid GBM, when BRAF V600E mutated.
  • Diagnostic/therapeutic relevant markers:
