| Abstract: | A 52-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with severe headache and bilateral papilledema. Magnetic resonance (MR) images
on admission demonstrated diffuse swelling of the cerebral cortex without formation of a tumor mass. Biopsy revealed diffuse
infiltration with neoplastic glial cells. After radiation and chemotherapy, the MR images returned to normal. The morphological
and neurological features of the present case met the criteria for gliomatosis cerebri. However, this patient showed an unusually
good response to radiation and chemotherapy. |
