Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and the most malignant primary intracranial tumor in adults. GBM extraneural metastases occur in only approximately 0.2–0.4% of patients. We present a case of a cervical metastasis of glioblastoma after cranial tumor resection. In concord with case presentation, we reviewed the metastatic location and metastasis time of the gliablastomas seen in the literature.
