Giant Cell Glioblastoma
📋Overview
Giant cell glioblastoma represents a distinct subtype of glioblastoma multiforme, which is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor. This condition is classified as a grade IV astrocytoma and is recognized for its specific microscopic characteristics within the broader category of glioblastomas.
The tumor is pathologically defined by the presence of numerous multinucleated giant cells. While it shares many clinical and pathological features with classic glioblastoma, these unique histological findings distinguish it during clinical observation.
