Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is well known as the most common malignant primary brain tumor. It could easily spread into the adjacent or distant brain tissue by infiltration, direct extension and cerebro-spinal fluid dissemination. The extranueural metastatic spread of GBM is relatively rare but it could have more progressive disease course. We report a 39-year-old man who had multiple bone metastases and malignant pleural effusion of the GBM without primary site recurrence.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是众所周知的最常见的原发性恶性脑肿瘤。它很容易通过浸润、直接蔓延和脑脊液播散扩散到邻近或远处的脑组织。GBM的神经外转移相对少见,但病程可能更具进展性。我们报告了一名39岁男性,其患有多形性胶质母细胞瘤的多处骨转移和恶性胸腔积液,而原发部位无复发。
