Glioblastoma Multiforme Imitating a Cavernoma: A Unique Image Case Report

Abstract

Glioblastomas multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. We highlight an unusual case of a 54-year-old woman, neurologically intact with a diagnostically challenging lesion. The patient's Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a left frontal lesion with surrounding edema and a hemosiderin ring misleading it to be a cavernoma. Intra-operatively, the lesion was found to be a solid tumor with hematoma around and was confirmed to be (GBM) on histopathology. In conclusion, the dilemma associated with our patient’s radiological findings and a longstanding history of epilepsy is rare and a diagnostic challenge
