Abstract Background Glioblastoma IDH-wildtype (GBM) may be diagnosed histologically (hGBM) or based on molecular features when microvascular proliferation and histologic necrosis are absent (mGBM). Clinical and radiographic distinction between hGBM and mGBM remains unclear. Methods 101 hGBM cases were matched to 109 mGBM cases by age, sex, year of diagnosis, and TERT promoter mutation (TERTp) status. Clinical outcome, radiographic, and molecular features were compared across mGBM and hGBM. Results Median time from first MRI to diagnosis was longer for mGBM versus hGBM (34 vs 7 days, p < .001). mGBM more often presented with seizures (51% vs 26%, p < .001), gliomatosis pattern (12% vs 2%, p = .005), basal ganglia involvement (17% vs 0%, p < .001). Contrast enhancement appeared on MRI for 98% (96/98) of hGBM and 50% (54/107) of mGBM (p < .001). mGBM with non-enhancing MRI were rarely multifocal (2% vs 30%, p < .001). mGBM harbored fewer total copy number alterations (median 20 vs 16.5, p = .029), less often had EGFRamp (34% vs 48%, p = .051), isolated chromosome 10 loss (84% vs 96%, p = .013), and CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion (56% vs 77%, p = .005). Median overall survival was longer for mGBM (2.16 vs 1.44 years, p < .001), and for mGBM without MRI contrast enhancement versus hGBM with enhancement (3.11 vs 1.62 years, adjusted p = .003). mGBM without +7/−10 or without CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion had longer survival and time-to-progression versus hGBM with these alterations. Conclusion mGBM with MRI enhancement may represent undersampled or early/evolving hGBM. mGBM that are non-enhancing, present with seizures, prolonged time to diagnosis, absent CDKN2A/B alteration or +7/−10 may represent other IDH-wildtype entities.
