Computerized tomography findings in multifocal glioma.

N Sundaresan, J H Galicich, T Tomita

    Acta Neurochirurgica
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary

    Multifocal glioma can mimic brain metastases on CT scans. Surgical biopsy is recommended for patients without a cancer history to differentiate these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Multifocal glioma presents a diagnostic challenge, often appearing similar to multiple intracranial metastases on imaging.
    • Distinguishing primary brain tumors from metastatic disease is crucial for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) scans in six patients revealed multiple, discrete, contrast-enhancing lesions in the cerebral hemispheres.
    • These imaging findings were initially suggestive of multiple intracranial metastases.

    Findings:

    • Surgical resection and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the lesions as primary malignant glioma.
    • This highlights the potential for neuroradiological studies to be inconclusive.

    Implications:

    • Surgical biopsy is essential for accurate diagnosis in patients with suspected multifocal glioma and no prior cancer history.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis guides appropriate treatment strategies, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
