Abstract

A 35-year-old woman with left frontoparietal glioblastoma was subtotally resected twice and 1 year later demonstrated extracranial metastasis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated metastasis to the first thoracic vertebral body with epidural and paravertebral extension. Bone scintigrams of the spine appeared normal. The mechanisms and radiological findings of the extracranial metastasis of an astrocytic glioma are reviewed.
