Abstract

Report of GBM metastasis to the parotid gland

Ogungbo BI, Perry RH, Bozzino J, Mahadeva D

Glioblastoma Multiforme frequently metastasises from their original location by for example infiltration along white matter tracts. 
GBM metastasis outside the central nervous system is distinctly rare though there are previous reports of spread to various organs. 
We add an unusual case of a patient with aggressive cerebral GBM metastasis to the parotid gland and the lungs.
