Deskripsi
Gliosarcoma (GS) is an uncommon central nervous system tumor with several characteristics of a malignant neoplasm and poor prognosis. The majority of GS reports describe a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, and cases of intraventricular GS are extremely rare, with only a few reported. In addition, intraventricular GS has not been associated with any unique radiographic or clinical features, which can result in misdiagnosis as other intraventricular tumor types. In this report, we present the case of a 32-year-old woman with GS in the trigone of the lateral ventricle and provide a retrospective review of similar, previously reported cases.
