Abstract

Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare subtype of glioma involving more than three lobes of the central nervous system. Currently, diagnosis of gliomatosis cerebri can be confirmed pathologically, surgically, or with magnetic resonance imaging that shows high-signal areas expanding to the cerebral hemisphere, brain stem, cerebellum, and spinal cord. Although this disease has great clinical importance, it has recently been removed from the revised WHO classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (2016) owing to divergence between its morphological features and molecular profiles.
