Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for glioma include biopsy, which demonstrates immature glial cells resembling astrocytes, oligodendroglia, or undifferentiated cells with atypia and mitoses.
- 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).
