Overview

Glioblastoma multiforme was first coined by Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing in 1926.^[1]
The suffix multiforme was meant to describe the various appearances of hemorrhage, necrosis and cysts.
The WHO classification dropped the multiforme and thus it is best referred as glioblastoma or grade IV astrocytoma.
