“…Extracranial metastases of glioblastoma are considered a rare entity with an incidence of 0.2 to 2% [1]. Given the aggressive clinical course of GBM, its low tendency to metastasize remains intriguing, The first case of extraneural spread of a malignant glial tumor was reported by Davis in 1928 [2], the first case of skin metastasis was reported in 1988 by shuangshoti [3].…”

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.

Introduction Lymph node metastasis (LNM) from primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) is an infrequent condition, and classically it was thought that CNS tumors could not spread via the lymphatic route. Recent discoveries about this route of dissemination make its knowledge necessary for surgeons and pathologists to avoid delays in diagnosis and unnecessary treatments. The aim of this paper is to review the literature and to discuss the relevant pathogenetic mechanism and the cytologic features along with recommendations for surgical treatment of these cervical LNM. Materials and Methods Using PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review of the literature published from 1944 to 2021, updating the comprehensive review published in 2010 by our group. Results Our review includes data of 143 articles obtaining 174 patients with LNM from a primary CNS tumor. The mean age of the patients was 31.9 years (range, 0.1–87) and there were 61 females (35.1%) and 103 males (59.2%), and in 10 cases (5.7%) the gender was not specified. The more frequent sites of distant metastasis were bones (23%), lungs (11.5%) and non-cervical lymph nodes (11%). Conclusion Cervical LNM from CNS tumors is infrequent. Pathologic diagnosis can be obtained by fine-needle aspiration cytology in most cases, giving surgeons the option to plan the appropriate surgical treatment. Given the poor prognosis of these cases, the most conservative possible cervical dissection is usually the treatment of choice.

Unusual extraneural metastasis of glioblastoma

Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. Extracranial metastases are very rare, been described in the lungs, soft tissue, or the intraspinal space. Case Description: Through a PubMed-based bibliographic search, the authors reviewed the cases reported in the literature to date, emphasizing the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this rare condition. A clinical case of a 46-year-old man with an initial diagnosis of gliosarcoma, who received complete surgical and adjuvant treatment and later recurred as GB with incidental finding of a lung tumor, whose pathology reported metastasis of the primary, is illustrated. Conclusion: Understanding the pathophysiology, it is likely that the incidence of extraneural metastases may continue to increase. Considering improvements in diagnostic techniques that allow early diagnosis, as well as advances in neurosurgical therapy and multimodal management with the aim of improving patient survival, the period in which malignant cells can spread and form extracranial metastases could increase. When screening should be performed to detect metastases in these patients is still not clear. The neuro-oncologists should pay attention to the systematic survey for extraneural metastasis of the GB. Timely detection and early treatment improve overall quality of patients’ life.
