A rare occurrence of an epithelioid glioblastoma in a pediatric patient: case report and review of the literature.

Epithelioid glioblastoma is a rare tumor in the pediatric population. We present a case report of a 5-year-old boy found to have a large right frontotemporal epithelioid glioblastoma. The patient was treated with maximal safe resection followed by craniospinal radiation. He has now reached 5-year survival and does not have tumor progression. Given the rarity of epithelioid glioblastoma in the pediatric population, the literature surrounding the diagnosis and treatment options for these tumors is reviewed.
