==Gliomatosis cerebri==

* Extensively diffusely growing astrocytic neoplasm.

**Currently considered a pattern of diffuse glioma infiltration.

**Currently considered a rare pattern of diffuse glioma infiltration.

* More than 3 lobes have to be involved, us. bilateral (radiology).

**Introduced in 1938 as a post-mortem diagnosis.<ref>SAMUEL NEVIN - GLIOMATOSIS CEREBRI, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/brain/61.2.170 170-191 First published online: 1 June 1938</ref>

* More than 3 lobes have to be involved, us. bilateral (radiology required).

* biologic behaviour corresponds to WHO III (ICD-O: 9381/3)

* Based on presence / absence of a solid component authors propose two types:<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Seiz | first1 = M. | last2 = Tuettenberg | first2 = J. | last3 = Meyer | first3 = J. | last4 = Essig | first4 = M. | last5 = Schmieder | first5 = K. | last6 = Mawrin | first6 = C. | last7 = von Deimling | first7 = A. | last8 = Hartmann | first8 = C. | title = Detection of IDH1 mutations in gliomatosis cerebri, but only in tumors with additional solid component: evidence for molecular subtypes. | journal = Acta Neuropathol | volume = 120 | issue = 2 | pages = 261-7 | month = Aug | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1007/s00401-010-0701-2 | PMID = 20514489 }}</ref>

** GC type 1: classic diffuse growth, without IDH1/2 mutation.

** GC type 2: with a solid portion, mostly IDH1 mutant.

* Genetic studies indicate strong overlap with diffuse astrocytic gliomas, oligodendrogliomas and glioblastoma.
