  • Title: [Cerebral glioblastomas and systemic metastases].
    Author: Denier C, Carpentier AF, Mokhtari K, Delattre JY.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 2001 Dec; 157(12):1531-4. PubMed ID: 11924450.
    Abstract:
    Glioblastomas are highly malignant but locally invasive tumors. In only rare instances do extra-neural metastasis occur. We report herein 2 cases of such dissemination occurring 9 and 15 month after the initial diagnosis and treatment of supratentorial gliomas. Metastasis involved the lung, the kidney and the liver in one case and the bones in the other case. Both patients died within 3 month after diagnosis of the systemic metastasis despite chemotherapy.
