title: [The PET/CT with 18F-fluorocholine in the diagnosis of gliomatosis cerebri type 2].
abstract: In a patient with cerebral gliomatosis type II MRI revealed a large area of altered signal in the temporal region, parietal and occipital lobes associated with a single nodule with perilesional contrast enhancement, which showed increased uptake on PET/CT with 18F-FCH, characterizing heterogeneous cellularity of the tumor.
