ABSTRACT
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor. Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have an increased risk of developing GBM. We present a case report of a 44-year-old male with NF1 who developed GBM. NF1-associated GBM presents distinct molecular features and younger age at diagnosis compared to sporadic cases. Treatment typically follows standard protocols for GBM. Despite advancements in neuro-oncology, gaps in knowledge persist regarding NF1-associated GBM, including its prevalence, molecular mechanisms, and optimal treatment strategies. Larger studies and collaborative efforts are needed to address these gaps and enhance patient care.
