| ABSTRACT |
|
We have experienced a case of oligodendroglioma which was similar to a falx meningioma. The oligodendroglioma arose in the medial surface(paracentral lobule) of the right frontal lobe and firmly attached to the falx cerebri. The tumor was found in early life(16 year old) and it had no roentgenographic calcification. So histological confirmation was possible after the operation. We report this uncommon oligodendroglioma with a review of literatures. |
