Oligodendrogliomas are slow-growing tumors that account for 15-20% of gliomas. This case report describes the case of an adult male patient diagnosed initially with tumefactive demyelination and multiple sclerosis, which was subsequently found to be a well-differentiated low-grade oligodendroglioma. This case emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis in oligodendrogliomas and other brain tumors for the prompt initiation of appropriate therapy, to minimize the likelihood of disease progression, ensure symptom management and escalation of unnecessary treatments for multiple sclerosis.
少突胶质细胞瘤生长缓慢，占胶质瘤的 15-20%。本病例报告描述了一例最初诊断为肿块样脱髓鞘病变和多发性硬化症的成年男性患者，随后发现为分化良好的低级别少突胶质细胞瘤。本病例强调了及时诊断少突胶质细胞瘤和其他脑肿瘤的重要性，以便及时启动适当的治疗，最大限度地降低疾病进展的可能性，确保症状管理，并避免对多发性硬化症进行不必要的治疗。
