摘要

Posterior fossa glioblastoma multiforme is a very rare childhood tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. There are only few cases of primary cerebellar glioblastoma described in the literature, and primary cerebellar glioblastoma presenting radiologically as a cerebellopontine angle mass lesion has not been reported previously. The authors report a multicentric glioblastoma multiforme in an 11-year-old child presenting predominantly as a cerebellopontine angle mass lesion, who finally expired 2 months after surgery. The presentation was very bizarre and the diagnosis was made only after histopathology examination.
