Gliomatosis Cerebri: A Rare Brain Tumor

Gliomatosis Cerebri is a rare brain tumor. There is diversity of presentation in cases due to the nature of its diffuse involvement. Very recently, on February 2016 in the department of Paediatric Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh we encountered a 10 years old boy who initially mimicked as tuberculoma of brain but later on diagnosed as Gliomatosis Cerebri on the basis of brain MRI and brain biopsy. Prognosis is always very gloomy regardless of the treatment strategy adopted. The boy died within one year after confirmation of diagnosis even after getting adequate medical management and radiation therapy.
