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 management is different. Therefore pseudoprogression is a new condition that should be known and considered via following up high grade gliomas. Studies for this subject increase in literature. We aimed to explain this new condition with a case that we assumed as pseudoprogression having high degree glioma. Keywords: High grade glioma, pseudoprogression, radiotherapy, temozolamide
