    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Neuro-oncology
    • Clinical Neurology

    Background:

    • Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare primary brain tumor characterized by diffuse infiltration of glial cells.
    • Understanding its clinico-pathologic features is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A 60-year-old woman presented with rapid neurologic and mental deterioration over 8 months.
    • Neuropathologic examination revealed extensive demyelination across cerebral hemispheres, corpus callosum, internal capsule, and brainstem.

    Findings:

    • Cellular stains identified elongated astrocytes, multinucleated cells, and mitotic figures within demyelinated areas.
    • These findings confirmed the diagnosis of gliomatosis cerebri diffusa.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of the rare entity, gliomatosis cerebri.
    • Further research into the nosologic and pathogenetic aspects of gliomatosis cerebri is warranted.
