N2 - 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.
