Summary:High grade gliomas need serious follow up in post operative period. It might be necessary to re-operate due to tumor progression in this period. In addition, some changes because of radiotherapy and chemotherapy might act like tumor progression. This condition is called pseudoprogression and its mana- gement is different.

We aimed to explain this new condition with a case that we assumed as pseudoprogression having high degree glioma.
