I came across a glioblastoma today (see below) which focally exhibited epithelioid and even gland-like features -- or what the WHO Tumor book calls "adenoid" characteristics. Had there not been other areas showing more classic GBM histomorphology, I'd have been obliged to order an immunohistochemical panel including melanoma and carcinoma markers.
I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.
