Abstract: 

GBM is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults comprising 16% of all primary brain and central nervous system neoplasms1 . It occurs almost exclusively in the brain, they can also appear in the brain stem, cerebellum, and spinal cord. Sixtey-one percent of all primary Gliomas occur in the four lobes of the brain: frontal (25%), temporal (20%), parietal (13%), and occipital (3%)2 . It is classified as primary and secondary. A majority of GBMs are primary, and these patients tend to be older aged and have a poorer prognosis than patients with secondary GBMs3 . In this article, we report a case of Glioblastoma multiforme in a male patient.
