Abstract

Astroblastoma is an uncommon, controversial neoplasm of the Central Nervous System (CNS) emerging from the glia. “Astroblastoma” as a terminology was initially coined in 1924 for a tumefaction characteristically emerging as a unique astrocytic glioma comprised of tumour cells configuring perivascular pseudo-rosettes and appearing immune reactive to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). Bucy and Bailey in 1930 delineated diverse macroscopic and microscopic features of the neoplasm with description of individual astroblasts as unipolar cells with broad “feet” amalgamating adjacent to vascular articulations. Subsequently in 1933, Cox categorized astroblastoma as a neoplasm transitioning between astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme.
