Neck Metastasis of Glioblastoma: A Rare Case
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant primary intracranial tumor in adults. Metastases outside the central nervous system (CNS) are very rare. There are several factors for extracranial metastases, e.g. age at diagnosis, lifespan, surgical treatment, and chemoradiotherapy. We present a female patient with a glioblastoma single lesion neck metastasis on her left neck, who had tumor excision , radiotherapy, and chemotherapy and survived for four years.
