ABSTRACT
Small cell glioblastoma (scGBM) is a rare histological variant of classical glioblastoma (GBM). Presence of necrosis and microvascular proliferation is not essential for the diagnosis. It is thought to have more aggressive behavior as compared with classical GBM; however, because of its rarity standard treatment guidelines are not available. Adjuvant treatment for these cancers consists of postoperative radiotherapy with concurrent and maintenance temozolomide similar to classical GBM. Here we present a case series of five small cell glioblastoma patients along with the clinical-pathological review.
