Glioblastoma with a primitive neuronal component in a long-term surviving patient

Abstract

We present a case of long-term followed-up patient with radically resected IDH mutant glioblastoma with a primitive neuronal component who has survived for 9 years with only moderate neurological complications and with a very good quality of life. Radicality of surgical resection together with mutations of the IDH genes are prognostically favourable factors in high grade glial neoplasms of the central nervous system.
