CEREBRAL GLIOSARCOMA - PROGNOSTIC FACTORS

The authors report their results in a retrospective study of 6 cases o f gliosarcoma. In 3 cases gliosarcoma presented features similar to th ose of glioblastoma, both at CT scan and macroscopically; in the other 3 cases they resembled meningioma. Average survival varied considerab ly and was correlatable to the CT features of the lesion (14 months fo r glioblastoma, 7 for meningioma). It seems likely that patients who h ave gliosarcoma with CT features suggestive of meningioma may have pro longed survival.
