==Classification==
Gliomatosis cerebri may be primary (de novo) or secondary, with the latter as a result from the spreading of a more focal glioma 5. Gliomatosis cerebri can contain areas of WHO grade 2 or 3 tumours, and rarely grade 4 6,7.
Gliomatosis cerebri may be classified into two subtypes:
*Type 1: no discrete mass
*Type 2: discrete mass with further diffuse [[CNS]] involvement
**''IDH1'' mutation more common in this subtype
