Adult cerebellar glioblastoma: case report and review of the literature/strong

Abstract

Glioblastoma is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor but its occurrence in the cerebellum is very rare. Giving its low occurrence the treatment modalities and outcome of this glioblastoma location are still poorly understood. We present the case of an adult woman with a cerebellar glioblastoma treated at the Clinical Hospital of Montevideo, and we perform a non-systematic review of the literature concerning the clinical, radiological and pathological features of this tumor, as well as its treatment modalities, prognostic factors and outcome.
