Multiple gliomas: a case review.
BACKGROUND
Multiple gliomas, although a rare finding, can present with a clinical and radiological picture similar to that of metastatic disease, abscesses, lymphoma and demyelination.


METHODS
We report a rare case of multiple gliomas located in the left cerebral hemisphere, with a complex presentation emulating other possible differential diagnoses.


CONCLUSIONS
Multiple gliomas should be taken into consideration as part of the differential diagnosis of multiple parenchymal brain lesions. Certain imaging modalities and findings can be extremely valuable with obtaining a diagnosis, and the subsequent formulation of a therapeutic strategy.
