Comments:
Nodules of mature glial tissue are embedded within omentum. Note the mesothelial lining around the nodules. In rare cases, other teratomatous elements may be found. The glial tissue is usually grade 0 or 1 and most patients with gliomatosis peritonei have good prognosis. Rare cases of malignant transformation have been reported.
