Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent malignant and aggressive type of glioma. Most cases of GBM present as a single solitary solid tumor; however, there are rare instances in which it may present as a cystic lesion. Here, we report an even rarer case of GBM presenting as bilateral multicystic lesions, mimicking infectious etiology. Our case highlights the importance of identifying clinical features of cystic GBM to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. A literature review was conducted in PubMed, looking at the common characteristics and treatment options for cystic GBM.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤（GBM）是最常见的恶性且侵袭性强的胶质瘤类型。大多数GBM病例表现为单个孤立性实体瘤；然而，也有罕见情况，其可能表现为囊性病变。在此，我们报告1例更为罕见的GBM表现为双侧多囊性病变，类似感染性病因。我们的病例强调了识别囊性GBM临床特征以确保早期诊断和治疗的重要性。在PubMed上进行了文献综述，探讨囊性GBM的共同特征和治疗选择。
