    This study details three primary intraparenchymal brain sarcoma cases, including fibrosarcoma, a mixed meningioma-fibrosarcoma, and hemangiosarcoma. Diagnostic challenges and outcomes highlight the need for accurate brain tumor classification.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Primary intraparenchymal brain sarcomas are rare and challenging to diagnose.
    • Accurate classification is crucial for appropriate treatment and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • Three distinct cases of primary intraparenchymal brain sarcoma were analyzed.
    • Case 1: Fibrosarcoma arising de novo from brain parenchyma.
    • Case 2: Mixed meningioma and fibrosarcoma features, suggesting sarcomatous change in an intraparenchymal meningioma.
    • Case 3: Hemangiosarcoma characterized by embryonal capillary ultrastructure.

    Findings:

    • Angiography suggested meningioma preoperatively in all three cases, indicating diagnostic limitations.
    • Histopathological and ultrastructural analysis revealed diverse sarcoma subtypes.

  • Outcomes varied, with two patients succumbing shortly after surgery and one surviving 18 months post-resection.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the difficulty in differentiating primary brain sarcomas from meningiomas using conventional imaging.
    • Emphasizes the importance of integrating histopathology and ultrastructural studies for accurate diagnosis.
    • Suggests potential for sarcomatous transformation in certain brain tumors.
