Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant adult brain and has a poor prognosis. Routine post-treatment MRI evaluations are required to assess treatment response and disease progression. We present a case of an 83-year-old female who underwent MRI assessment of post-treatment GBM after intravenous iron replacement therapy, ferumoxytol. The brain MRI revealed unintended alteration of MRI signal characteristics from the iron containing agent which confounded diagnostic interpretation and subsequently, the treatment planning. Ferumoxytol injection prior to contrastenhanced MRI must be screened in post-treatment GBM patients to accurately evaluate tumor activity.
