Gliomatosis cerebri: a case report.
Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare disease that thus far was usually diagnosed at the time of autopsy. In this communication we report the case of a young woman with gliomatosis cerebri. Diagnosis was established on the basis of characteristic imaging findings and typical histopathological features of surgical specimens obtained by craniotomy.
