RESUMEN
O glioblastoma, um tumor anaplásico de linhagem astrocitária, é o mais freqüente tumor cerebral. Localiza-se preferencialmente nos hemisférios cerebrais; seu crescimento primário no cone medular é muito raro, e o manejo e prognóstico deste tipo de lesão são distintos dos outros tumores observados nesta localização. Apresentamos o caso de um homem de 39 anos com tumor intramedular com diagnóstico histo-patológico de glioblastoma.
