Abstract
We report a case of multicentric malignant astrocytoma occurring simultaneously in both cerebrum and cerebellum, presenting with hemorrhage into the cerebellar tumor. Hemorrhage into a cerebellar glioma in an adult is very rare. None of the cases of multicentric glioma described in the literature presented with intratumoral hemorrhage. This combination in our patient has prompted us to report this case and to reaffirm the need to consider the diagnosis of malignant glioma in patients with multiple intracranial tumors.
