We report a case of giant cell glioblastoma (GCG) in a 13-year-old child with clinical features and family history of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of GCG have been reported in a scenario of NF1, and only one of that was in a pediatric age group. A report on our case is presented here along with a review of literature.

Key-words:

Giant cell glioblastoma - neurofibromatosis - pediatric tumors
