Oligodendroglial Gliomatosis Cerebri Exhibiting Leptomeningeal And Nerve Root Involvement (P7.271)

Conclusions:In the context of gliomatosis cerebri, the extent and infiltrative pattern, the positive CSF cytology and the histological subtype, make this case highly unusual. The lack of specific findings both clinically and on imaging, despite the level of neoplastic infiltration seen post-mortem, highlight the diagnostic challenge this neoplasm presents.Disclosure: Dr. Mcmacken has nothing to disclose.
