Report of a case of congenital glioblastoma multiforme: an immunohistochemical study

We report a rare case of congenital glioblastoma multiforme in a 13-day-old male neonate born at term who died from cardiocirculatory failure. The cerebral tumor was diagnosed in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed histologically after autopsy. The histological and immunohistochemical features of this case were similar to those reported in the adult.
