Cureus. 2023 Jun 29;15(6):e41153. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41153. eCollection 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a malignant adult brain tumor that is visualized as an enhancing lesion on post-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, we present a rare case of non-enhancing GBM that required histopathological examination for a definitive diagnosis. Our findings emphasize the critical role of biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of GBMs, particularly in cases of non-enhancing lesions on MRI.

Keywords: brain mri; glioblastoma multiforme; malignant brain tumor; neurology case report; non-enhancement.
