Overview
Other diagnostic studies for gliomatosis cerebri include biopsy, which demonstrates glial cells resembling astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, or undifferentiated cells with atypia and mitoses.[1]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for gliomatosis cerebri include biopsy, which demonstrates glial cells resembling astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, or undifferentiated cells with atypia and mitoses.[1]
- Biopsy may be of two types: open or stereotactic.
- Biopsy may be done at the time of surgical resection of gliomatosis cerebri.
- Biopsy may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis of gliomatosis cerebri.
- Stereotactic biopsy is performed when lesion is not amenable to surgical resection (deeply seated tumor).[1]
