Interventricular low-grade oligodendroglioma with multiple parenchymal relapse

BMJ Case Rep. 2012 Jun 8:2012:bcr2012006270. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2012-006270.

Abstract

Oligodendrogliomas can be found anywhere oligodendrocytes exist; however, they mostly occur in frontal lobes. Although intra- and extra central nervous system dissemination of anaplastic oligodendroglioma is a well-known property of this tumour, low-grade oligodendroglioma with intracranial relapse is a very uncommon finding. In this case report, a 37-year-old man with grade II oligodendroglioma relapsed after 18 months with multiple parenchymal masses is presented.
