Abstract

I. Man of forty one, dying ten weeks after onset of symptoms pointing to cerebral disease, showed three apparently discrete nodular lesions of the right frontal lobe, one of which had pierced the pia mater of the longitudinal fissure and invaded the left rostral convolution.

2. Examination of the hemorrhagic and edematous tissue of the medullary center beneath the nodules showed bands of tissue like that in the nodules. If the tumor started from one focus in the medullary center, the extent and character of the lesion may be due to rapid growth, unequal along different radii. Thrombosis accounts for the necrotic and cystic center of the mass.

3. The tumor is a glioma, rapidly growing and malignant in a sense unusual for cerebral gliomata, in that it invades non-nervous tissue.
