A constellation of newly diagnosed benign tumours and glioblastoma is an uncommon occurrence in a single individual. We present a case of a patient with a history of skin lipomas who presented with seizures and was found to have a left frontotemporal multifocal enhancing mass on MRI. Work-up for metastatic disease revealed a benign lung carcinoid tumour, a cervical schwannoma, adrenal masses, a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma, and lastly a glioblastoma following brain biopsy.
