Background: It is uncommon for individuals with demyelinating disease, notably multiple sclerosis (MS), to be diagnosed with intracranial gliomas. It has been debated whether or not the concurrence of these two disorders is accidental. Clinically, it may be challenging to diagnose someone who has MS and an intracranial tumor simultaneously.

Given these observations, researchers have proposed various ideas as to how these malignancies may be linked to MS.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) incidence is higher in males, suggesting sex hormones may influence GBM tumorigenesis. Patients with GBM and altered sex hormone states could offer insight into a relationship between the two. Most GBMs arise sporadically and heritable genetic influence on GBM development is poorly understood, but reports describing familial GBM suggest genetic predispositions exist.

The coexistence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rarely reported in the literature. According to the present literature, these GBM or glioma-related vascular malformations may present simultaneously in distinct regions of the brain or occur in the same area but at different times. So far, these distinct hypervascular glioblastomas have been described but are not classified as a separate pathological entities.
