In cranial MRI, it was found that there were lesions with miscellaneous dimensions in right parietal cortex, left thalamus and left cerebellar pedincule without contrast enhancement.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Abstract

Scientific BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme is the most malign tumor which can be multifocal, including necrosis, vessel proliferation and excessive mitosis, can infiltrate peripherial tissue, and generally located in supratentorial regions. MR imaging shows a mass lesion with irregular borders and a cavity at the center with non-homogenous contrast enhancement. CASE: Fifty-three years old patient admitted to our emergency department complaining about seizures and weakness on her left side. On neurologic examination she had a 4/5 MRC muscle strength on her left side with a positive babinski sign and also hemihipoestesia including her face on her left side. In cranial MRI, it was found that there were lesions with miscellaneous dimensions in right parietal cortex, left thalamus and left cerebellar pedincule without contrast enhancement. Central nervous system (CNS) infection and the primary CNS were the initial diagnoses. All microbiologic indicators were negative both in the serum and liqeur. A stereotactic biopsy was performed and pathology revealed low grade astrocytoma. Her clinical conditioned worsened by time and died due to infections and multiple organ failure.Pathological autopsy revealed that the mass lesion was glioblastoma multiforme.CONCLUSION: In this case report we presented a case with a MRI and biopsy suggesting a diagnosis of low grade astrıcytoma. However, clinical findings worsened in a short time causing death of the patient. It is discussed that multifocal GBM can be in different grades on the different parts of the lesions. Although imaging techniques are of utmost importance, in case of discordancy clinical follow-up and neurological examination are still the most important to rely on

Özet

Bilimsel zemin: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) yoğun mitoz, damar proliferasyonu ve nekroz içeren, çevre dokulara yoğun infiltrasyon yapan, genellikle supratentoriyal yerleşimli, multifokal olabilen en malign astrositik tümördür. Nöroradyolojik olarak düzensiz sınırlı, ortasında nekrotik kavite bulunan, kontrast tutan, etrafı ödemli bir kitle olarak görülür.OLGU: Nöbet geçirme ve sol tarafında güçsüzlük şikayeti ile müracaat eden 53 yaşındaki kadın hastanın nörolojik muayenesinde, solda yüzüde içine alan 1/5 kas gücünde hemiparezi ve hemihipoestezi ve solda Babinski pozitif olarak saptandı. Kraniyal MR’da sağ parietalde ve vertekste, solda talamus ve serebeller pedinkülde irili ufaklı kontrast tutmayan lezyonlar tespit edilerek radyolojik olarak ön planda lenfoma ve enfeksiyöz patolojiler düşünüldü. Beyin omurilik sıvısında yapılan serolojik testlerin tümü negatif gelen hastaya biyopsi yapıldı. Düşük gradeli astrositom ile uyumlu bulundu. Klinik takiplerinde hastanın kliniği ve nörolojik muayenesi giderek kötüleşti ve araya giren enfeksiyonlar sonucu çoklu organ yetmezliği nedeniyle hasta exitus oldu. Patolojik otopsi yapıldı. Alınan parçaların mikroskobik incelenmesi sonucunda lezyonlar patolojik olarak glioblastoma multiforme olarak yorumlandı.YORUM: Olgumuzda her türlü radyolojik, mikrobiyolojik ve patolojik tetkike rağmen kesin tanısını otopsi sonucu almış olan bir multifokal GBM olgusu sunulmuş, multifokal GBM’lerin her birinin aynı zaman diliminde farklı gradelerde olabileceği tartışılmış ve klinik takibin önemi vurgulanmıştır.
