Presentation
Although other cases of grade III gangliogliomas and rare cases of grade IV gangliogliomas have been reported, the present case is exceptional in that, to our knowledge, it is the only report of a patient who presented initially with a composite grade [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical presentation Giant cell glioblastomas are de novo lesions with symptoms at presentation similar to those of GBM. [prod.wiki.cns.org]

Thirty-two months later he developed headache and shoulder pain with symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus. Head CT showed ventriculomegaly and SAH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cervical Cord Compression
Due to the possibility of a rapid clinical deterioration in patients with high cervical cord compression, the diagnosis of drop metastasis to the spine should be considered in patients with a previous history of supratentorial GBM who present with acute [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Generalized Seizure
We report a case of GC-GBM in a 42-year-old male with 3 months history of generalized seizures. He also complained of headache accompanied by vomiting since 1 month. The intensity of headache had increased over last 7 days. [indianjcancer.com]

In hindsight, of course, we know understand that she was having some minor speach issues like forgetting certain words, she was more tired than usual, and of course, the headaches that started about two weeks before her diagnosis and progressively got [cancercompass.com]
Workup
Neuroradiological workup revealed a large, high cervical compressive leptomeningeal mass consistent with a drop metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workups for common metastatic lesions from breast, lung, colon, and secondary central nervous system lymphoma were found to be negative. [ruralneuropractice.com]
Radiography: X-rays are not often used in the workup of a patient with a malignant glioblastoma. Nevertheless, when the tumor is very aggressive, with invasion of the skull bones, skull erosive changes can be demonstrated on a skull x-ray. [brain-surgery.com]
Detection of many of the molecular changes that underlie the development of gliomas and other BT can now be done by immunohistochemistry and is getting into the mainstream of the diagnostic workup of BT. [neuropathology-web.org]
Another potentially useful immunostain in the diagnostic workup of gliomas is OLIG2. [nature.com]

By immunohistochemical staining, lymphocyte infiltration was found in 6 cases. GFAP and vimentin stained positive in all cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Patients were retrospectively identified through chart review, and data pertaining to patient demographics, treatment plans, and follow-up were extracted from existing medical records. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis of GC is superior to that of GBM, and long-term survival is possible, suggesting aggressive therapy is warranted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology

Epidemiology
Consequently, the epidemiology, natural history, and factors associated with outcome are not well defined. Patients diagnosed with GC from 1988 through 2004 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
