*Diffuse astrocytoma ICD-O: 9400/3
*Diffuse astrocytoma, IDH-mutant  ICD-O: 9400/3 - most frequent.
**Fibrillary astrocytoma ICD-O: 9420/3 - most frequent
**Gemistocytic astrocytoma, IDH-mutant ICD-O:9411/3
**Gemistocytic astrocytoma ICD-O:9411/3
*Diffuse astrocytoma, IDH-wildtype ICD-O: 9400/3
**Protoplasmatic astrocytoma ICD-O:9410/3 - rare
*Diffuse astrocytoma,NOS ICD-O: 9400/3 - genetic data missing.
Note: This subtyping is no longer in use!
 
''Note:'' Older terminologies included Fibrillary astrocytoma (ICD-O: 9420/3) and Protoplasmatic astrocytoma (ICD-O:9410/3)<ref name=WHOCNS>{{Ref WHOCNS|25}}</ref> This subtyping is no longer in use. These tumors are now classified according their IDH mutation status.
