Abstract: introduction: glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant of the brain tumours. however, it is exceptionally observed in the cerebellum. clinical case: a case of a 42 year old woman with a short history of gait disturbance and headache is reported. a mri brain scan showed a 4 cm diameter, solid and cystic tumour with edema in the right cerebellum. surgery removed a glioblastoma multiforme with a positive p53. conclusions: age and positive p53 indicate that it is a secondary form. bibliography certifies that it is an infrequent location. initial treatment is surgery, but survival is short in spite of radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolamide.
