Glioblastoma NOS (not otherwise specified) is a diagnosis in the 2021 WHO classification of CNS tumors and denotes a diffuse glioma with astrocytic features and anaplasia, microvascular proliferation and/or necrosis consistent with a WHO grade 4 tumor but with inconclusive or unavailable IDH mutation status ^1,2.

As such, much of the older literature on glioblastomas should be considered to describe glioblastoma NOS.

As most glioblastoma NOS are in actuality glioblastoma IDH wild-type (just with unavailable IDH status), they are discussed as part of the main glioblastoma article.
