Abstract
Glioblastome multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary central nervous system tumor 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 patient with radiological features suggestive of a more common benign lesion such as meningioma in craniovertebral junction. The lesion was completely excised and the histopathological study was consistent with small-cell GBM. © 2018 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
