Entry term(s) glioblastoma con componente sarcomatoso
Scope note: Tumores mixtos raros del cerebro, y raramente de la médula espinal, que contienen componentes neuroectodérmicos (gliales) y del mesénquima, incluidas las células de fibrosarcoma en forma de huso. Estos tumores son muy agresivos y se presentan principalmente en adultos como masas de rápida expansión. Pueden surgir en tejidos previamente irradiados. (Br J Neurosurg 1995 Apr;9(2):171-8)

Scope note: Rare mixed tumors of the brain and rarely the spinal cord which contain malignant neuroectodermal (glial) and mesenchymal components, including spindle-shaped fibrosarcoma cells. These tumors are highly aggressive and present primarily in adults as rapidly expanding mass lesions. They may arise in tissue that has been previously irradiated.
