“…Almost all previously reported cases of gliosarcoma were located in the supratentorial area, especially in the peripheral region of the temporal lobe (2). Gliosarcoma occurs less commonly in the frontal, parietal or occipital lobes, and in the corpus callosum.…”

Gliosarcoma of the Cerebellar Hemisphere: a Case Report and Review of the Literature

Gliosarcoma is a rare central nervous system tumor usually located in the supratentorial area. Here we report a rare case of a gliosarcoma that developed in the cerebellar hemisphere in a 70-year-old woman. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed an infratentorial mass of which radiological features were similar to those of glioblastoma. The tumor was diagnosed by pathology as a gliosarcoma. Though rare, gliosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infratentorial tumors with radiological features of glioblastoma or metastasis in elderly patients.

“…While several cases of supratentorial gliosarcomas have been reported in the literature, there are only a few reports of infratentorial gliosarcoma (2, 3). This is, to our knowledge, the 3rd published case report of infratentorial gliosarcoma.…”

Giant parietal lobe infantile gliosarcoma in a 5-year-old child

2015

The relative frequency of pediatric gliosarcoma (GSM) is 1.9% among glioblastomas and 0.5% among pediatric central nervous system tumors. A 5-year-old female child came to us with history of fever and loss of appetite since 2 weeks and right sided weakness since 4 days. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large heterogeneously enhancing space occupying lesion in the left parieto-occipital region. A parieto-occipital craniotomy with radical excision of tumor was performed. The patient was given adjuvant therapy following surgery and survived until 9 months following surgery. The etiopathogenesis, treatment modalities and prognosis of GSM is discussed.

“…It typically affects older men, with onset between the fourth and sixth decades of life and a male/female ratio of 1.8/1, although some cases of infantile gliosarcoma have also been described. 5 It is normally located in the supratentorial region with a slight preference for the temporal lobes, 6 although it can also affect the frontal, parietal and occipital lobes. 7 In some cases, metastatic extraneural dissemination has been described to occur via the blood to lung, bone and lymphatic ganglion tissues, as well as intraaxial, brainstem and spinal cord dissemination.…”
