A case of right fronto-parietal gliosarcoma

Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma multiforme, characterized by a shorter clinical course and poorer prognosis compared to glioblastoma. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with episodic loss of consciousness and left-sided limb weakness for one month. MRI revealed a complex neoplastic lesion in the right fronto-parietal region. Postoperative pathology confirmed GS, and the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This case highlights the characteristic features of GS through a combination of imaging and pathological findings, providing valuable insights for radiologists.

Abstract

Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma multiforme, characterized by a shorter clinical course and poorer prognosis compared to glioblastoma. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with episodic loss of consciousness and left-sided limb weakness for one month. MRI revealed a complex neoplastic lesion in the right fronto-parietal region. Postoperative pathology confirmed GS, and the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This case highlights the characteristic features of GS through a combination of imaging and pathological findings, providing valuable insights for radiologists.
