Cerebral hemorrhages may occurr in 5% of the cases of brain tumors. The most frequently bleeding tumors are: methastasis, gliobastoma, oligodendroglioma and choroid plexus papilloma. We report a man with 69 years of age who manifested a right frontal hemorrage with abrupt onset. Neuro-imaging studies suggested a tumoral secundary bleeding, which was surgically confirmed. Histhopathology showed a gliobastoma. Primary tumors of the brain must be included in the differential diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage.
