[Bone metastasis from a glioblastoma: An unusual course!].
Extraneural diffusion of glioblastoma is very unusual. Extracranial metastases generally occur after craniotomy or a long survival time. Metastases usually involve the lungs, pleura, lymph nodes and occasionally the bone. We report herein a case of bone dissemination occurring 18 month after the initial diagnosis and treatment of supratentorial glioblastoma.
