AB Five cases of rare gliosarcoma are described with pathologic correlation. Because of its sarcomatous component, gliosarcoma tends to present as a sharply defined, round or lobulated, hyperdense solid mass with relatively homogeneous contrast enhancement and peritumoral edema. Sharp demarcation of the tumor from surrounding tissue may lead to complete removal and prolonged survival despite high malignancy. However, aggressive tumor regrowth occurs often after incomplete resection. The genesis of gliosarcoma is also discussed.
