Abstract
Gliosarcoma is a rare tumor of the central nervous system, consisting of gliomatous and sarcomatous elements. The glioblastoma can undergo a change in phenotype, transforming into a gliosarcoma, especially when the tumor has been treated with radiotherapy. Features unique to gliosarcoma compared to glioblastoma include their potential to appear similar to a meningioma at macroscopy, repeated reports of metastases and infrequency of EGFR mutations. We present a case of secondary gliosarcoma to emphasize on the specificities, essentially diagnostical of this rare entity.
