Demiyelinizan Plak Hastalığını Taklit Eden Multisentrik Glioblastom

Abstract

Demyelinating plaque disease in acute phase may simulate gliomas. The multicentricity is most frequently found in glioblastoma which is the most common and most malignant primary brain tumor. The differential diagnosis of demyelinating plaque diseases and multicentric gliomas is difficult since the neurological and radiological findings of each are similar in most cases. Multiple tumor-like brain lesions may mimic multicentric gliomas or metastases and they may be mistreated. Accurate diagnosis may need a histological examination following the surgical excision of the suspicious lesion. We report a patient with multicentric glioblastoma mimicking demyelinating plaque disease.
