| Popis: | Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. GBM in children is less common than in adults and has a better prognosis. Pediatric GBM is a rare entity, and a multifocal development in a pediatric GBM is much rarer. We report to you one such rare case of pediatric multifocal GBM in a 5-year-old child who developed rapidly increasing multiple lesions after radiotherapy. More studies are required to study the genetic analysis, tumor behavior, management and outcome of these rare tumors. |
