title: [Multicentric glioma: presentation of a case].
abstract: A case of multiformis glioblastoma with a parieto-temporal and brainstem localization is presented. Multicentric gliomas are unfrequently reported in the literature, and very often rise diagnostic problems with other multiple lesions of the Central Nervous System, either of neoplastic nature or not. After briefly reviewing the pathogenetic hypothesis concerning this lesion, indication and limits of clinical and radiological investigations are discussed.
