Abstract:
Gliosarcoma is a rare variant of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). It is a very aggressive tumour and usually managed like GBM. Treatment of choice is surgery with good surgical margins followed by radiotherapy (60 Gy). Median survival is seven months. Here we present a case report of 55 years old male who was diagnosed as brain tumour in left temporoparietal region. It turned out to be gliosarcoma after surgical resection and histopathological evaluation.
