Overview
Gliomatosis cerebri may be classified into several subtypes based on the origin (primary and secondary) and the type of tumor cell (astrocytic, oligodendroglial, and mixed).
Classification
Based on the origin
Gliomatosis cerebri may be classified based on the origin into two subtypes:[1][2][3][4]
| Type of gliomatosis cerebri | Characteristic features |
|---|---|
|
Type 1 (Primary) |
|
|
Type 2 (Secondary) |
|
Based on the type of tumor cell
Gliomatosis cerebri may be classified based on the predominant tumor cell type into three sub-types:[4]
- Astrocytic - it is considered a distinct entity of astrocytic glioma as per the latest WHO classification for CNS tumors. [5]
- Oligodendroglial - very few cases of isolated oligodendroglial GC has been reported[6]. No difference in the signs and symptoms are noted.
- Mixed - more common than isolated oligodendroglial GC.
