Overview
The term “glioma” was first introduced by Rudolf Virchow in 1864. The suffix multiforme was meant to describe the various appearances of hemorrhage, necrosis, and cysts. the first successful removal of a brain tumor is credited to the Scottish neurosurgeon Sir William Macewen in 1879. The first successful removal of a brain tumor is credited to the Scottish neurosurgeon Sir William Macewen in 1879. In 1926 Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing published “A Classification of the Tumors of the Glioma Group on a Histogenetic Basis with a Correlated Study of Prognosis” and the term “glioblastoma multiforme” (GBM) was coined. The WHO classification dropped the term multiforme and thus it is best referred as glioblastoma or grade IV astrocytoma.
