RESUMO
Metástases espinhais sintomáticas de glioblastoma multiforme são raramente descritas na literatura. Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 27 anos que apresentou quadro de dor lombar e em membros inferiores bilateralmente nove meses após diagnóstico de GBM intracraniano. Exame de ressonância magnética da coluna lombar mostrou tumor em L1-L2 que foi removido com sucesso, e análise anatomopatológico foi consistente com metástase de GBM. Metástase espinhal deve ser investigada e incluída no diagnóstico diferencial de paciente com história prévia de GBM intracraniano e queixa de sintomas espinhais.
ABSTRACT
Symptomatic spinal cord metastasis from glioblastomamultiforme (GBM) has rarely been reported in the literature.We report the case of a 27-year-old man that presented withback and bilateral leg pain nine months after the primarydiagnosis of intracranial GBM. A magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the lumbar spine showed a L1-L2 tumor that wasremoved successfully and histopathological examination wasconsistent with GBM metastasis. Spinal metastasis shouldbe investigated and included in the differential diagnosis if apatient with a previous history of intracranial GBM presentswith spinal symptoms.
