Glioblastoma (WHO Grade IV), the most frequent malignant brain tumor, can have varied morphologic variations like epithelial/glandular structures, granular cells, and lipidized cells. Glioblastoma with signet ring cell morphology is very unusual and can mimic a metastatic carcinoma. These rare tumors may be just a morphological variant or may signify a different carcinogenic pathway.
胶质母细胞瘤(世界卫生组织IV级)是最常见的恶性脑肿瘤,可呈现多种形态学变异,如上皮/腺结构、颗粒细胞和脂质化细胞。具有印戒细胞形态的胶质母细胞瘤非常罕见,可酷似转移性癌。这些罕见肿瘤可能只是一种形态学变异,也可能意味着不同的致癌途径。
