Abstract
A 35-year-old woman with left frontoparietal glioblastoma was subtotal ly resected twice and 1 year later demonstrated extracranial metastasi s. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated metastasis to the fir st thoracic vertebral body with epidural and paravertebral extension. Bone scintigrams of the spine appeared normal. The mechanisms and radi ological findings of the extracranial metastasis of an astrocytic glio ma are reviewed.
