Case Report: A Rare Case of Cerebellar Gliosarcoma

Gliosarcoma is a rare subtype of glioblastoma multiforme. On histology it is a biphasic tumor having both glial as well as sarcomatous components. Here in we present a case of 32 year male who got admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of headache for the past one month which increased in intensity since the last 10 days with progressive loss of vision and complaints of giddiness, nausea and vomiting. CT scan and MRI were advised which revealed Approximately 47x40x28mm sized ill-defined heterogeneous lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere causing mass effect over fourth ventricle. A provisional diagnosis of medullobastoma was made based on imaging studies. Surgical intervention comprising Midline suboccipital craniotomy with excision of tumor was done. On histopathological examination a diagnosis of gliosarcoma was made after observing the H&E and Reticulin silver stained sections. Gliosarcoma is an aggressive tumor hence prompt and accurate diagnosis is required for better prognosis.
