Molecularly distinct collision tumor consisting of meningothelial meningioma and glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype: illustrative case
Collision tumors are difficult to diagnose preoperatively; prognosis is primarily determined by the glioma component. Meticulous review of neuroimages, intraoperative recognition of dual pathologies, multiple tissue sampling, and comprehensive molecular analyses are essential for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and postoperative management. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25952.
