Özet
Synchronous multicentric gliomas are lesions with different histological features and they occur in the same time at different parts of the brain without anatomical continuity. We aimed to describe a multicentric astrocytoma with different histopathological types located in supratentorial and infratentorial regions of the brain. Our patient was operated first for the posterior fossa tumor, then he underwent the removal of frontal tumor. The posterior fossa tumor was pilocytic astrocytoma and the frontal tumor was anaplastic astrocytoma. Synchronous multicentric astrocytoma with different histology is very rare and should be treated in different sessions for better clinical outcome.
