Special types of glioblastoma gliosarcoma giant cell small cell epitheloid epithelial with oligo component MG-PNET prognostic relevance?
Epithelial glioblastoma very rare true epithelial differentiation (morphology, IHC, EM) features of glioblastoma along with epithelial differentiation showing the formation of squamous nests and/or glands staining for EMA, cytokeratin CAM 5.2, E-cadherin, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, cytokeratin 7, pCEA, cytokeratin 5/6 and cytokeratin 20
Epithelial glioblastoma molecular alterations: P53, p21, EGFR, chromosome loss: 10q22-26, 17p13 mean OS: 7 months glial and epithelial components are clonal (microdissection)
Carcinoma to glioma MTS? in very advanced cancer glioblastoma with epithelial differentiation? florid / atypical reactive gliosis around MTS?
Summary glioblastomas with true epithelial differentiation are very rare mostly diagnosed as MTS carcinoma clinicopathologic correlation Thank you for your attention.
