Abstract
Symptomatic spinal cord metastasis from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has rarely been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 27-year-old man who presented with back and bilateral leg pain nine months after the primary diagnosis of intracranial GBM. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine showed a L1-L2 tumor that was removed successfully and histopathological examination was consistent with GBM metastasis. Spinal metastasis should be investigated and included in the differential diagnosis in a patient with a previous history of intracranial GBM presenting with spinal symptoms.
