Abstract: | Gliosarcoma, a variant of isocitrate dehydrogenase‐wildtype glioblastoma, is largely a lobar surfacing neoplasm often with dural attachment. In this biphasic neoplasm, the sarcomatous component usually takes the form of fibrosarcoma or malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Heterologous sarcomatous differentiation is a rare phenomenon. Here, we present a case of gliosarcoma with liposarcomatous and myosarcomatous differentiation in a 68‐year‐old man which was purely intraventricular. This is the first report of such a morphologic pattern in this location. Varied histological components with their immunohistochemical profile are discussed. Of note was the presence of a p53 negative giant cell glioblastoma component, as was the expression in the rest of the tumor. |
