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"
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]

IHC
- GFAP +ve (cytoplasm).
- MAP2 +ve.
- IDH-1 -ve (95%).
- +ve if developed from lower grade astrocytoma (secondary GBM) -> classify tumor as Glioblastoma, IDH-mutant.
- WT-1 +ve (cytoplasm).
- p53 +ve (70%).
- Neurofilament -ve.
- Synaptophysin -ve (residual Cortex may be +ve).
- panCK -ve (except for GBM with epithelial component).
- ATRX: +ve (no loss, nuclei)
- -ve if developed from lower grade astrocytoma (secondary GBM).
- EMA: Dot-like expression less common than in ependymomas.
- MIB-1 usu. 15-30%, but varies greatly.
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]
- Seen in inherited tumor syndromes:
- Lynch syndrome
- Neurofibromatosis 1
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Turcot-Syndrome
- 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:
- MGMT promoter methylation status[15]
- Absence of LOH 1p/19q (otherwise classify tumor as oligodendroglioma).[16]
