Glioblastoma variants:
*Giant cell glioblastoma (ICD-O: 9441/3)
*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.

** 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.
