Congenital glioblastoma multiforme associated with congestive heart failure.
A case of congenital glioblastoma multiforme in a premature hydropic female infant was studied. Study and results of a literature review show that teratoma is the commonest tumor in that age group, and that the sex distribution in newborns showed a slight preponderance in females, in contrast with the preponderance of these neoplasms in males among children and adults.
