Abstract

In this paper, we report a case of a 57-year-old male patient with non-metastatic dorso-lumbar glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who underwent total cordectomy followed by chemoradiotherapy. Primary dorso-lumbar GBM is a rare finding. Despite the total cordectomy and chemoradiotherapy treatment, recurrence occurs mostly within a short time with poor
prognosis.
