Hans Joachim Scherer (1906-1946) was a German pathologist who fled Germany to Belgium to work on glioma genesis, growth and progression. Despite being seldom cited, and due to the contributions discussed in this article, Hans Joachim Scherer, can be considered a founding father of contemporary neuropathology and glioma research. We discuss Scherer's achievements in glioma classification, glomerular structures of glioma, primary and secondary glioblastoma, glioma growth patterns, non-resectability of glioma, pseudopalisadic necrosis and the late occurrence of symptoms in glioma.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005858 Germany A country in central Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, between the Netherlands and Poland, south of Denmark. The capital is Berlin.
D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
