Abstract
ABS TRACT Glioblastome multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary central nervous systemtumor and can mimic various pathologies, such as meningioma, arteriovenous malformation,metastatic disease, lymphoma, and infection. Here, we report a case of GBM in a female patientwith radiological features suggestive of a more common benign lesion such as meningioma in craniovertebraljunction. The lesion was completely excised and the histopathological study was consistentwith small-cell GBM.
