Glioblastoma multiforme mimicking falx meningioma with achondroplasia: Case report

Abstract

Achondroplasia is a type of genetic dwarfism with an undefined cause. There are no reports of glioblastoma multiforme mimicking a falx meningioma alongside achondroplasia in the literature. This article presents the case of a 19-year-old patient with achondroplasia and a glioblastoma multiforme evocative of a falx meningioma. Copyright © 2013 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
