Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a rare primary brain tumor in adults.
  • Cerebellar GBMs are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.
  • Understanding the clinical and imaging characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A fourteenth case of adult cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme is presented.
  • The patient was an 80-year-old female.
  • Clinical and computed tomography (CT) findings were reviewed alongside existing literature.

Findings:

  • The median age for cerebellar GBM is 53 years.
  • The median survival is approximately three months.
  • This survival is significantly shorter than for adult malignant gliomas in the cerebral hemispheres.

Implications:

  • Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme represents a distinct and aggressive clinical entity.
  • Early recognition of its unique presentation on CT scans is vital.
  • Further research may elucidate specific therapeutic strategies for this rare tumor subtype.
