Abstract
We report the case of a 40-year-old man whose bone marrow metastases occurred 57 months after the initial diagnosis and 9 months after completing radiotherapy for an anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Four months before the demonstration of visceral metastases was obtained by bone marrow biopsy, the patient developed diffuse bone pain, pancytopenia, hypercalcemia, and panhypogammaglobulinemia. These abnormalities and other clinical signs of extracranial dissemination of the primary brain tumor were initially unrecognized until the patient was admitted with the suspicion of a nonsecretory multiple myeloma. We also briefly review the factors predisposing these tumors to spread outside the CNS, albeit rarely, and discuss the clinical implications of a misdiagnosis of extracranial invasion by anaplastic oligodendroglioma, whose chemosensitivity has been definitively demonstrated.

Abstract
Requests of organs to be transplanted increase. As a matter of urgency, it is not always easy to decide if a patient carrier of a brain tumor can be candidate in the donation. After a review of the literature, the members of the Association of the Neuro-oncologists of French Expression (ANOCEF) and the Club of Neuro-oncology of the French Society of Neurosurgery propose consensual recommendations in case of donor carrier of primitive tumor intra-cranial or intra-medullary. A contact with the neuro-oncologist/neurosurgeon will allow to discuss the indication in case of glioma of grade I/II/III, according to the grade, the current status (absence of progressive disease), the number of surgeries and of lines of treatment. The taking is disadvised in case of glioma of grade IV (glioblastoma), of lymphoma or meningioma of grade III. No contraindication for the meningiomas of grade I, and individual discussion for the meningiomas of grade II. It is advisable to remain careful in case of hemangiopericytoma and of meningeal solitary fibrous tumor. The patients in first complete remission of a medulloblastoma or intra-cranial primitive germinoma seem good candidates for the taking of organ if the follow-up is of at least 10 years (3 years for non germinomas). In every case, a multidisciplinary discussion is desirable when it is materially possible.

Abstract
Clinically detected extra-cranial metastases from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are quite rare, with an incidence of <2% reported in the published literature. Among the various reported sites of systemic metastases from GBM, there are few cases of clinically symptomatic bone marrow metastasis. The case of a patient developing systemic dissemination of a GBM is described. A 60-year-old man with GBM who developed back pain, thrombocytopenia and subsequently neurological deficits was found to have extensive bony and bone marrow metastases. Previously reported cases of extra-cranial systemic spread of GBM and attempts made in the literature to explain the possible routes of extra-neural dissemination are reviewed.

Abstract
Donor-acquired solid organ malignancy is a rare complication of organ transplantation. We report a case of a patient who received bilateral lung transplants for pulmonary fibrosis from a donor with known glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys were harvested after a lethal intracranial bleed and accepted for transplantation by four centers. An enlarged hilar lymph node sampled at the time of transplant was found to contain GBM. Four months later, the patient developed diffuse interstitial pulmonary infiltrates with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Lung biopsy confirmed metastatic GBM. The patient died 2 weeks after the diagnosis was established. The patient receiving the donor liver also developed GBM. We present a case study, review of the literature, and suggested interventions to minimize the risk of transmission.
