ABSTRACT

Gliosarcoma is an unusual tumor of the central nervous system, of low incidence, formed by a biphasic pattern by glial cells and malignant mesenchymal elements. It is considered a variant of glioblastoma and its incidence is higher in men 1.8-3: 1-1.4; represents 2% of all glioblastomas. The most frequent location is supratentorial, especially in the temporal lobe. The diagnosis should be timely with the support of immunohistochemistry as well as early surgical management with subsequent chemotherapy and radiation to improve the quality of life of the patient despite having a short survival.
We present the case of a 47-year-old male patient, who underwent surgical treatment, performing a left frontotemporal craniotomy and obtaining a result by histopathological and immunohistochemical study of gliosarcoma.
