Spinal Metastases of Supratentorial Glioblastoma with Primitive Neuronal Component

The range of incidence rates of dissemination in the literature is 2%-4%, typically in cases of cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme, but as high as 25% in autopsy series. Our case highlights several other topics in the literature, such as immunohistochemical patterns that differ between the primary tumor and spinal metastases and dissemination locations, typically leptomeningeal or ventricular invasion.
