Overview
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Gliomatosis cerebri may be classified into primary (de novo) or secondary, with the latter as a result from the spreading of a more focal glioma.
- According to WHO classification of brain tumors, gliomatosis cerebri is classified into grade 2 or grade 3 tumors.
Associated Conditions
Gliomatosis cerebri may be associated with:
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, gliomatosis cerebri is characterized by:
- Diffuse, usually astrocytic growth pattern
- Involves at least three cerebral lobes
- Bilateral involvement of the cerebral hemispheres, deep gray matter, brainstem, or cerebellum
