Rhabdoid glioblastoma is a rare type of recently described malignant brain tumor. It is characterized by a glioblastoma associated with rhabdoid components.
Here we report two cases of rhabdoid glioblastoma and a brief literature review. The first patient was a 19-year-old boy who initially presented with a foul-smelling odor and progressive right-side weakness. The second case was a 29-year-old male patient who presented only with a severe headache.
Both of these patients were young, and the disease progression was quick despite optimal treatment.
The diagnosis of rhabdoid glioblastoma was confirmed after microscopic and immunohistochemical findings.
横纹肌样胶质母细胞瘤是一种罕见的恶性脑瘤,最近才被描述。其特征为胶质母细胞瘤伴横纹肌样成分。
本文报告了两例横纹肌样胶质母细胞瘤病例,并进行了简要的文献复习。第一例患者为 19 岁男性,最初表现为恶臭和进行性右侧无力。第二例患者为 29 岁男性,仅表现为严重头痛。
这两名患者均较年轻,尽管接受了最佳治疗,但疾病进展迅速。
横纹肌样胶质母细胞瘤的诊断是通过显微镜和免疫组织化学检查结果确认的。
