We report a 39-year-old female patient known to have multiple sclerosis (MS),
who later developed cerebral glioblastoma.
The tumor was documented on the brain-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during
the work-up for an apparent relapsing MS, and was subsequently confirmed
pathologically by stereotactic biopsy and the postmortem brain
examination.
Our case, as well as others, re-emphasizes the need to evaluate the symptoms and
brain MRI carefully, even in well-documented MS subjects.
The concurrence of MS and intracranial glioma is uncommon.
The possible relationship between the 2 diseases was discussed, and related
literature reviewed.
