ABSTRACT
Multifocal cerebral gliomas are rare tumors. The reported incidence is about 2-5%
of total high-graded gliomas. The majority of affected patients are in the third
to fourth decade of life. Glioblastoma is the most common histologic variant,
followed by anaplastic astrocytoma. There is no defined clinical feature and are
often misdiagnosed as metastases with unknown primary focus. Management
remains controversial. We present the case of a 55 years old male patient, with
clinical presentation of intracerebral hemorrhage. Imaging studies showed cortico-
subcortical multiple lesions and in the basal ganglia. Stereotactic biopsy was reported
multifocal anaplastic astrocytoma.
