Overview
Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare brain tumor. The incidence of gliomatosis cerebri is estimated to be less than 100 cases per year in the United States.[1] Gliomatosis cerebri is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged population. The peak incidence for gliomatosis cerebri is 20-40 years.[2] The median age at diagnosis is 34 years.[3] Males are more commonly affected with gliomatosis cerebri than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1.[2]
