GLIOMATOSIS CEREBRI - REPORT OF AN ATYPICAL CASE

Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a rare, diffusely infiltrating tumor of ne uroepithelial origin. The clinical diagnosis is difficult since GC is a diffuse and progressive disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Non-specific findings can be detected by computed tomography (CT) whe reas, according to some authors, the extent of this tumor can be accur ately depicted by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper the neuroradiologic, neuropathologic and immunohistochemical features in a further case of GC are reported.
