Case Report

Metastatic seeding of glioblastoma along image-guided biopsy tract with successful treatment with re-irradiation: a case report

15 Aug 2012
A Pascoe, R Vijayan, M Kumar, G Dow

Metastatic seeding along image-guided brain biopsy tracts is an uncommon phenomenon. We report a case of meningeal glioblastoma (GBM) metastasis at the site of a previous image-guided biopsy site, which developed 14 months after completing concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. This is the first reported case of successful treatment of an intracranial GBM metastasis with resection followed by radiotherapy.
