Solitary primary intracranial leptomeningeal glioblastoma invading the normal cortex: Case report

Abstract: Abstract. Solitary primary intracranial leptomeningeal glioma (PLG) is a rare entity of glioma. PLG arises from the heterotopic glial tissue in the subarachnoid space and usually grows there without parenchymal invasion. The present study reported a case of solitary PLG, pathologically diagnosed as glioblastoma, that invaded the temporal cortex and finally disseminated to the spinal cord. A 55-year-old woman had headaches and visited Nihon University, Itabashi Hospital. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed a… Show more

“…There have been case reports of primary extra-axial gliomas. 10 11 13 14 However, an extra-axial, remote intra-cranial recurrence of an IDH mutant glioma has yet to be reported in our search of existing literature. In the present case, due to the unlikely possibility of such a recurrence, we had considered other diagnoses in keeping with the imaging findings.…”
