Features: <ref name=AFIP2007>{{Ref AFIP2007|34}}</ref> | |||
*Increased cellularity (compared to [[Diffuse Astrocytoma]]). | |||
**Specimens with low cellularity but plenty mitoses are also considered anaplastic. | |||
*Distinct nuclear atypia and pleomorphism. | |||
**May include multinucleated cells. | |||
*Cytoplasm highly variable (even within the same tumour). | |||
*Mitoses present (a single mitosis in a small specimen indicates a high-grade tumor). | |||
*Microcystic spaces of the background (none to extensive). | |||
*No necrosis, no vascular proliferations. | |||
**Except radiation necrosis after pretreatment. | |||
*Lymphocytic cuffing (mostly in gemistocytic type). | |||
*Rosenthal fibers usu. absent. | |||
