Multicentric glioblastoma multiforme is rare. This report details two cases, highlighting imaging findings and treatment in these complex brain tumor presentations.

Area of Science:

Neuro-oncology
Radiology
Neurosurgery

Background:

Multicentric glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Understanding its varied manifestations is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

Two distinct cases of multicentric glioblastoma multiforme are presented.
One case featured a trilocular tumor, while the second developed a contralateral focus.
Both patients underwent whole skull radiation therapy (40 Gy).

Findings:

The patient with the initially unilocal tumor received an additional tumor boost.
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were utilized for detailed visualization.
Imaging revealed the multicentric nature and specific morphological characteristics of the GBMs.

Implications:

This case series contributes to the understanding of rare GBM presentations.
It underscores the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing and characterizing multicentric brain tumors.
Optimal radiation strategies for multicentric GBM require further investigation.
