Summary
Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rare central nervous system tumor, an unusual glioblastoma variant. This case highlights a skull base-invading GS successfully resected in a 62-year-old male patient.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rare primary central nervous system tumor.
- It is an unusual subtype of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with a distinct biomorphic tissue pattern.
- GS rarely invades the skull base, presenting unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
2.3K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
