Abstract
Multiple gliomas are determined by synchronous two or more tumors located in different brain regions. It is important to distinguish multiple primary tumors and metastatic brain lesion. In the first case, tumor spread can`t be explained by dissemination along the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, commissural fibers or local metastases. Multiple primary tumors with different histological structures are called bidermal neoplasms. Surgery is preferred in these patients with severe symptoms. The purpose of surgery is maximum resection of tumor. Follow-up may be advisable for small tumors without clinical manifestations. Treatment of multiple gliomas includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Multiple tumor process in children is much more severe compared to a single neoplasia that requires neurological and neuroimaging control and determines treatment strategy. The authors report 3 children with multicentric gliomas, discuss the various aspects of diagnosis and treatment of multiple gliomas and formulate the recommendations for the treatment based on own clinical experience and literature data.

Abstract
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare fibro-osseous neoplasm. We present a case highlighting the occurrence of an intracranial OFMT masquerading as meningioma on imaging in a 46-year-old gentleman. Brain imaging revealed an extra-axial calcified lesion along the left cerebellar convexity appearing hypointense on T1- and T2-weighted MRI sequences with no post-contrast enhancement, suggestive of a meningioma. An intraventricular colloid cyst was also noted. The lesion, which was presumed to be meningioma, and the colloid cyst were resected in two subsequent operative settings. Histopathological examination of the calcified lesion confirmed the findings of an OFMT. This report aims to inform the physician about intracranial OFMT mimicking meningioma on imaging. In addition, since multiple brain tumors are not very common, the surgeon should always have a suspicion should there be any heterogeneous and peculiar radiological and histopathological characteristics.

Abstract
Synchronous primary malignant brain tumors are rare. We present a 5-year-old boy with synchronous glioblastoma and medulloblastoma. Both tumor samples had positive p53 stain and loss of PMS2 and MLH1 stains. The child had multiple café au lait spots and a significant family history of cancer. After subtotal resection of both tumors, he received craniospinal radiation with concomitant temozolomide followed by chemotherapy, alternating cycles of cisplatin/lomustine/vincristine with temozolomide. Then, he started maintenance treatment with cis-retinoic acid (100 mg/m(2)/day for 21 days). He remained asymptomatic for 34 months despite a follow-up brain MRI consistent with glioblastoma relapse 9 months before his death. Cis-retinoic acid may have contributed to prolong survival in this child with a probable biallelic mismatch repair syndrome.

Abstract
Intramedullary glioma are rare and their biological behaviour can differ from their cerebral counterparts. Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA, WHO grade II), predominantly occur in the hypothalamic/chiasmatic region of infants and children. The few reported cases of pediatric intramedullary PMA displayed a particularly aggressive behavior. Here, we report a diagnostically challenging case of a five year old female patient presenting with intramedullary glioma and local tumor recurrence three years later. Twelve years after the initial manifestation, a second tumor was found intracerebrally. We performed a comprehensive histological, molecular pathological and imaging analysis of the tumors from both localizations. The results revealed a metastasizing PMA with unique histological and genetic features. Our study indicates that PMA comprise a heterogeneous group including aggressive subtypes which may not be compatible with the current classification according to WHO grade II. Furthermore, the case emphasizes the increasing relevance of molecular pathological markers complementing classic histo-logical diagnosis.

Abstract
Multiple primary brain tumors are commonly observed in patients with a history of brain radiation therapy or neurofibromatosis. The concomitant presence of 2 different types of brain tumors in a single location or chamber is a very rare clinical presentation in the absence of such a predisposing factor. The authors report on the case of a 16-year-old boy presenting with different types of brain tumors in 2 ventricular chambers concomitantly. This boy had a medium-sized colloid cyst of the third ventricle and a large fibrillary astrocytoma fungating from the brainstem into the floor of the fourth ventricle. The lesions were successfully excised in 2 separate surgeries. Radiotherapy was used as the adjuvant mode of therapy. There has been no sign of tumor recurrence after 16 months of follow-up. Clinical awareness and recognition of such a combination of tumors is important because they will dictate special treatment strategies depending on the individual biological aggressiveness of each tumor.
