Extracranial metastases from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are rare, especially cutaneous metastasis. However, the metastatic mechanism of GBM remains unknown with no current consensus regarding the best therapeutic regimen. We report the clinical, imaging and pathological features of a case of a 47 years old man with primary glioblastoma; who 12 months after receiving a macroscopically total resection and adjacent radiotherapy, developed scalp metastasis and subsequent multiple skin metastasis. We also discuss the details of this case in comparison with the previously reported cases in literature in terms of clinical presentation, lesions’ site, management and survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
