Abstract
WHILE using the electron microscope to study the fine structure of the small vessels surrounding central necroses, typical of multiform glioblastoma, endothelial proliferation and the presence of processes arising from the “basement membrane” were observed. The fine structure of the latter differed essentially from that in normal vessels. The present observations are in accordance with earlier light microscopical observations1,2.
