Diagnostic challenges in epithelioid glioblastoma of the cerebellum: A case report

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGB) is an uncommon morphological variant of isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type GB that commonly presents as a cerebral mass in young adults and children. Here, we report the case of a 22-year-old man who presented with a cerebellar tumor. With the provisional diagnosis of...
