Background: Spinal angiolipomas are rare benign tumors composed of mature adipose tissue and anomalous vascular channels. The sacral localization is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only two cases reported in the literature.

Discriminating surgical bed cysts from bacterial brain abscesses after Carmustine wafer implantation in newly diagnosed IDH-wildtype glioblastomas.

Carmustine wafers can be implanted in the surgical bed of high-grade gliomas, which can induce surgical bed cyst formation, leading to clinically relevant mass effect. An observational retrospective monocentric study was conducted including 122 consecutive adult patients with a newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma who underwent a surgical resection with Carmustine wafer implantation as first line treatment (2005-2018). Twenty-two patients (18.
