We present the case of a 29-year-old patient whose pain began with the interscapular region, progressing to paresthesia and loss of muscle strength in the lower extremities. MRI of the spine was done, a lesion was found in T2 to T6, ependymoma was suspected and was taken to subtotal resection with laminectomy, the histopathological report, as well as the immunohistochemistry, was compatible with glioblastoma type not otherwise specified (NOS). He received adjuvant with radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy, but he progressed to the cervical and lumbar spine, the patient died 16 months after diagnosis. A review of the literature is made and the clinical and radiological characteristics and treatment protocols that have been used in this entity are reported.
