WHO Gr 2 Astrocytoma (“gliomatosis<br />
gliomatosis cerebri”)<br />
(“edema” w/o contrast enhancement)<br />
Gliomatosis Cerebri:<br />
Diffuse Astrocytoma – 2 lobes<br />
NOTE: Although this looks like “vasogenic edema” – there is no enhancement.<br />
Vasogenic edema often spares the internal capsule. This is NOT edema secondary to<br />
a lesion. This is the tumor itself infiltrating through the white-matter.<br />
