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.
胶质肉瘤(GS)是胶质母细胞瘤一种极其罕见的变体,其特征在于独特的双相组织病理学形态,包含神经胶质和间充质成分。尽管GS好发于大脑皮质半球,但文献中已有关于脑室内胶质肉瘤(IVGS)罕见病例的记载。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名68岁女性患者,其原发性IVGS起源于左心室额角并伴有相应的左心室受压情况。本文呈现了该患者的临床病程以及计算机断层扫描(CT)、磁共振成像(MRI)和免疫组织化学研究中观察到的相关肿瘤特征,并对当前文献进行了相关综述。
