Glioblastoma multiforme del cerebelo.

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. It is usually centered in the deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres in supratentorial location. Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme is infrequent with an incidence of 0.24%. This article informs about one case with cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme surgically treated in "Roberto Rodríguez" General Docent Hospital of Morón (Ciego de Ávila). Case report: A young patient with 39 years old was operated on by glioblastoma multiforme of the left cerebellum hemisphere. She has a satisfactory evolution after total surgical resection with adjuvant post-surgical radiotherapy and type hR3a monoclonal antibody therapy. Conclusions: Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme is a rare tumor with a different biological behavior from those centered in supratentorial cerebral hemispheres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
