A DIPG is a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma or Diffusely infiltrative brain stem gliomas or tumors that are spread throughout the normal structures of the pons (the middle portion of the brain stem), sometimes spreading to the midbrain (the upper portion of the brain stem) or the medulla (the bottom portion of the brain stem).
