Abstract
This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with gliosarcoma and her rapid demise after a brief asymptomatic postcraniotomy period. The discussion that follows is a collective review of the several aspects illustrated by the case history. Special attention is directed toward the pathological features of this histological variant of glioblastoma multiforme. The topic of extraneural metastasis is reviewed with regard to frequency, mechanisms, sites, and prognosis.Keywords
