Report of GBM metastasis to the parotid gland.
Glioblastoma Multiforme frequently metastasises from their original location by for example infiltration along white matter tracts [1]. GBM metastasis outside the central nervous system is distinctly rare though there are previous reports of spread to various organs [2-5]. We add an unusual case of a patient with aggressive cerebral GBM metastasis to the parotid gland and the lungs.
