A Rare Tumor in a Rare Location: Radiology and Pathology Findings With a Literature Review on Intraventricular...

Gliosarcoma (GS) is an extraordinarily rare variant of glioblastoma, which is differentiated by its distinct biphasic histopathological morphology consisting of both glial and mesenchymal elements. Although GS has a predilection for the cortical hemispheres, rare occurrences of intraventricular gliosarcoma (IVGS) have been documented in the literature. In this report, we present a 68-year-old female patient with a primary IVGS arising from the frontal horn of the left ventricle with corresponding left ventricular entrapment. The clinical course as well as associated tumor features as observed on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and immunohistochemical studies are presented along with a relevant review of the current literature.
