Abstract
Four cases of intracranial osteosarcoma are reported. In three cases the tu mors were primary neoplasms arising from the sellar region, base of the occ iput and the parieto-occipital area. One case represented osteosarcoma meta static to the cerebellum, a site not previously described, from a primary t umor at the femur. In addition, the current literature on intracranial oste osarcoma is reviewed.
