N2 - Extracranial metastasis in glioblastoma multiforme(GBM) is rare; however, there are even fewer reports of subgaleal metastasis, in particular, in the case of no prior surgical intervention, as tumour seeding is thought to have been the main mechanism of metastasis. GBM is a highly malignant primary brain tumour. The prognosis is usually poor, with a reported median survival of 14.6 months with standard treatment. Extracranial metastases from GBM are considered rare, with the most common sites being the lungs, pleura, liver, lymph nodes and bone marrow. There have been less than 10 cases reported of subcutaneous metastasis from GBM. We pre-sent a case of subgaleal metastasis from GBM that is con-tralateral to the site of previous surgical resection
