| Popis: | Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) most commonly occurs in the pons while it is rare in the brainstem. However, diagnosis of brainstem GBM can be difficult due to its rarity and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Herein, we presented a case of a 47-year-old female patient confirmed as primary pontine GBM by histopathological examination. This case highlights that GBM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with a space-occupying lesion in the brainstem as well as the importance of a meticulous radiological review with clinical suspicion. |
