Abstract

Neurocysticercosis (NC) is the most frequent and widespread human neuroparasitosis. Glioblastoma multiforme, a not infrequent brain neoplasm in young adults, may have a similar clinical and radiologic presentation as NC. Coexistence of NC and brain tumors has been very rarely reported and puts into question a causal relationship between the 2 diseases. Here we report the case of a patient in which glioblastoma multiforme and cysticercosis appeared concomitantly, making their clinical distinction very difficult.
