a-b Hematoxylin & Eosin staining of the tumor demonstrated atypical tumor cells with marked hyperchromatism, pleomorphism (red arrows). The presence of residual bony tissues (blue arrows) and the distinguishing characteristics of multinucleated giant cells in the tumor (white arrows) were also observed. c, d Immunohistochemical stains showed tumor cells were positive for GFAP, while the multinucleated giant cells were negative for GFAP (white arrows). These findings were consistent with the diagnosis of metastatic glioblastoma. ((a), (b), (d) magnification× 200; (c) magnification × 100)
