Glioblastoma with extracranial parotid, lymph node, and pulmonary metastases: a case report

Abstract

We present a rare case of an isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype glioblastoma with histologically proven parotid, cervical lymph node, and lung metastases. While recent therapy advances are likely to increase glioblastoma mid- and long-term survival, this will also increase the time window for extraneural glioblastoma spread. Radiologists should be aware of this risk, so they can accurately detect and interpret metastatic glioblastoma disease.
