Abstract

Multiple gliomas are uncommon tumors. The incidence of multiple gliomas ranges from 0.5% to 20% of all gliomas diagnosed. Multiple gliomas can be divided into two ways. One is by location of the lesions (multifocal and multicentric). The second way is by the time of the lesions occur (synchronous and metachronous). The prognosis of multiple gliomas remains unfavourable. The treatment of multiple gliomas includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Distinction between multicentric and multifocal gliomas is difficult. This is a case report of multicentric variety of multiple gliomas which was treated with surgery and adjuvant therapy. Literature was reviewed and analysed.
