A rare case of cervical metastatis of glioblastoma after cranial tumor resection: case report and review of literature

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and the most malignant primary intracranial tumor in adults. GBM extraneural metastases occur in only approximately 0.2-0.4% of patients. We present a case of a cervical metastasis of glioblastoma after cranial tumor resection. In concord with case presentation, we reviewed the metastatic location and metastasis time of the gliablastomas seen in the literature.

Keywords: Cervical; extraneural; glioblastoma multiforme; metastases.
