Abstract:
:Gliomatosis cerebri (GC), which mainly consists of oligodendroglial tumour cells, is rare and six cases have been documented to date. We present a new case of oligodendroglial gliomatosis cerebri with a favourable response to combination treatment using surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
