gliosarcoma/headache

BACKGROUND Gliosarcoma is a rare, malignant CNS tumor with a very poor prognosis. Gliosarcoma is a variant of glioblastoma multiforme, which is characterized by the presence of both glial and mesenchymal components. The treatment strategy for gliosarcomas has not yet been determined

This paper has two main purposes: (1) to report a rare case of paediatric gliosarcoma that invaded the surrounding orbit and (2) to demonstrate chlorpromazine injection as a potential treatment option for blind, painful eye caused by tumour invasion. A 12-year-old man who presented with headaches

An 18-year-old woman with headaches and visual abnormalities was found upon biopsy to have an occipital gliosarcoma, which was treated with irradiation and chemotherapy for a year. Cells in the gliosarcoma tissue were positive for GFAP. At necropsy, only the sarcoma was evident at the site of

Gliosarcoma is a rare brain tumor consisting of both glial and mesenchymal components. Metastatic gliosarcoma is rare; however, here we report a 31-year-old Chinese woman with cranial gliosarcoma metastatic to the liver, lymph nodes and the spinal cord. Initially, the patient presented with

UNASSIGNED We present our experience of gliosarcoma (GSM) in oncology tertiary care center over the last 5 years. UNASSIGNED We carried out a retrospective analysis of seven patients with GSM diagnosed between April 2008 and December 2012. Demographic data, clinicopathological data, treatment

Background: Primary gliosarcomas of the central nervous are rare and very few have been reported in the infratentorial compartment. Here, we describe such a lesion in a 12-year-old male. Case description: A 12-year-old male

Gliosarcoma is an uncommon malignant brain tumor composed of distinct sarcomatous and malignant glial cell elements. These tumors are defined as a variant of glioblastoma, and it can be developed by progression of the malignant glial cell tumors or primary tumors. We report a rare case with

We describe a rare case of gliosarcoma with primitive neuroectodermal, osseous, cartilage and adipocyte differentiation. A 57-year-old man experienced a month history of headache, nausea and vomiting. Worse yet, the headache has become more severe for the past 6 days. Magnetic resonance (MR) images

Gliosarcoma (GSM) is a WHO grade 4 tumor and a variant of glioblastoma multiforme with predilection for the temporal lobe. We record, perhaps the first case in literature, of a temporal lobe GSM with recurrence involving the posterior fossa. A 50-year-old man presented to us with headache, vomiting,

Gliosarcoma (GS) belongs to World Health Organization grade IV neoplasm and displaying glial and mesenchymal differentiation. Only rare cases of GS have been reported in the brachium pontis and 4th ventricle region. Here, we report a rare case of GS located on brachium pontis region and extending

Gliosarcoma is relatively rare brain tumor of glial and sarcomatous origin. The occurrence of this highly malignant brain tumor in the vicinity of the clipped aneurysm has not been reported in the literature. The authors report a case of 37-year-old man who developed sudden onset severe headache.

Gliosarcomas are bimorphic intraaxial tumors. Involvement of the skull base is highly unexpected. The authors present the case of a temporal lobe gliosarcoma with significant infratemporal fossa extension. This 55-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of severe progressive headache.

BACKGROUND Gliosarcomas are rare, malignant primary brain tumors, most commonly located in the temporal lobe, that contain both glial and mesenchymal elements. Gliosarcomas located within the cerebellum are exceedingly rare. The previously unreported finding of a cerebellar gliosarcoma concurrently

Gliosarcoma is an uncommon variant of glioblastoma, which commonly demonstrates dural attachment. However, skull base invasion is rarely seen with this entity. Herein, we report a 44-year-old female patient diagnosed with primary intracranial gliosarcoma extensively invading the skull base and

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF I) is the most common hereditary syndrome predisposing to neoplasia. We report the third case in the literature, documenting the combination of gliosarcoma with NF I. The patient's son was known at our center because of a history of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA)
