Abstract
We report histologically different gliomas occurring simultaneously in both the cerebrum and cerebellum in a 53-year-old woman. One tumor was a cerebellar astrocytoma, and the second was a temporal glioblastoma multiforme. Two months after the removal of both tumors, the third lesion, located in the basal ganglia, was found on a computed tomographic examination, but it was not verified histologically. We recommend a biopsy of one tumor when a diagnosis of multiple brain tumors is established based on a computed tomographic examination, in order to avoid the misdiagnosis of multicentric gliomas as brain metastases.
