Abstrakt: The paper presents a case report of a 38-year-old female suffering from metastatic glioblastoma in the jugular lymph node that developed 9 months after craniotomy and tumorectomy in the left temporal region of the brain. The histological evaluation of metastatic tumour reveals lower density of vasculature as well as less significant pathologic changes in blood vessels morphology in comparison to primary tumour. Moreover, in this report we present cytological characteristics of the material obtained by fine needle aspiration of the metastatic mass.
