  • Title: A case of pediatric tumefactive demyelinating lesion misdiagnosed and treated as glioblastoma.
    Author: Riva D, Chiapparini L, Pollo B, Balestrini MR, Massimino M, Milani N.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 2008 Aug; 23(8):944-7. PubMed ID: 18344459.
    Abstract:
    Because of their clinical and neuroradiological features, tumefactive demyelinating lesions, or giant plaques, are easily mistaken for tumors, with a consequent risk of gross errors in the choice of treatment. This article reports a 10-year-old girl who underwent surgery for a left parietal lesion misinterpreted as a glioblastoma which subsequently proved to be a case of giant plaque.
