Case Discussion
This patient went on to have a biopsy and debulking which confirmed the diagnosis of glioblastoma.
Note: This case predates the recent (2016) revision WHO classification of CNS tumors and IDH status is not available. As such, this tumor would now be classified as a glioblastoma NOS.
