| ABSTRACT |
|
Extracranial metastasis of glioblastoma multiforme is still rare with or without relation of previous surgery. The patient who had a history of the craniotomy & stereotactic interstitial brachytherapy for the management of glioblastoma multiforme was presented with low back pain initially and multiple scalp nodule was noticed on 10th hospital day. Follow up brain CT had no evidence of tumor reccurrence and biopsy of these nodules revealed a histopathologic picture similar to that of primary glioblastoma multiforme and positive for GFAP stain. Authors reviewed the literature & reported this unusal case. |
