Abstract

Gliosarcomas are rare tumors with a poor prognosis composed of intermingled malignant glial and sarcoma elements with an estimated incidence of 1.8–8.0% of all malignant astrocytic neoplasms. We aimed to review the imaging findings in eight patients with gliosarcoma who were treated in our center between 2002 and 2010. The diagnosis was confirmed by morphological and immunohistochemical stains. This study, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest describing the imaging manifestations of this tumor. Although our study revealed no unique radiological features for gliosarcoma, it is important to note that they all demonstrated either dural or ependymal involvement or both. Calcification, hemorrhage or cystic components are described with a tendency for a ring enhancement pattern. Interestingly pre-existing benign looking lesions and associated remotely located small meningiomas are also described.
