Abstract:
We report a case of solitary primary leptomeningeal glioma. The mass was totally removed under awake surgery. Intraoperatively, no parenchymal involvement was noted. Histopathological study revealed a predominant anaplastic oligodendroglioma component and a focal anaplastic astrocytoma component, which was consistent with an anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. Adjuvant tomotherapy was followed and the tumor has not recurred until 12 months after surgery. A focal type of primary leptomeningeal glioma is extremely rare. We report a rare case of solitary primary leptomeningeal anaplastic oligoastrocytoma.
