This is similarly true for the formation of bone and cartilage, which prevails in gliosarcoma and in a variety of childhood CNS neoplasms {1412}. Microvascular proliferation In addition to necrosis, the presence of microvascular proliferation (previously called endothelial cell proliferation) is a histopathological hallmark of glioblastoma. On light microscopy, classic microvascular proliferations typically appear as ‘glomeruloid tufts’, which are most commonly located in the vicinity of necrosis and appear directionally oriented to it.

62 years) {1620, 1625A}. Neuroimages of the dynamic growth of a primary glioblastoma and a secondary glioblastoma are shown in Fig. 30. Glioblastoma may also develop through progression from diffuse astrocytoma (WHO grade II) or anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III); and these are termed “secondary glioblastomas”. They are much less frequent than primary glioblastomas (<10% of all glioblastomas) {486, 1620, 1625A}, and typically develop in younger patients (mean, 45 years). The time to progression from diffuse astrocytoma WHO grade II to glio- 36 Astrocytic tumours blastoma varies considerably, with time intervals ranging from less than 1 year to >10 years {1627}, the mean interval being 4–5 years {1625, 2371}.

A Hypercellularity and hyperchromatic, irregular "naked nuclei" appearing within a fibrillary background. Several mitotic figures are evident. B GFAP immunoreactivity. C Several tumour cells show immunoreactivity for the proliferation marker MIB-1, including a cell in mitosis. the diagnosis is still appropriate, even in the face of low cellularity if there is sufficient mitotic activity. With progressive anaplasia, nuclear morphology becomes more atypical, with increasing variations in nuclear size, shape, coarsening and dispersion of chromatin and increasing nucleolar prominence and number.
