Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) within the lateral ventricle is relatively rare and it is predominantly found in the frontal horn or body of the ventricle. It is highly unusual to find a GBM in the trigone of the lateral ventricle. We present here a very rare location of a GBM (the trigone of the lateral ventricle).

측뇌실에서 발생하는 다형교모세포종은 드문 것으로 알려져 있으며 대부분이 측뇌실의 전두각에서 보고되었다. 저자들은 41세 남성에서 측뇌실의 삼각부에서 발생한 다형교모세포종 1예를 경험하였기에 영상소견을 보고한다.
