Purpose: Gliosarcoma (GS) has a low incidence but is aggressively invasive, with poor-survival. Even though GS is recognized as a different subgroup from glioblastoma (GB), there is no molecular panel available to define its clinical outcome. The objective was to identify the molecular imprint of GS in terms of expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), high mobility group A1 (HMGA-1), kinesin superfamily protein-14 (KIF-14), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) markers with reference to disparate prognosis and identify plausible targets for intervention.

Oligosarcomas, IDH-mutant are distinct and aggressive.

Oligodendrogliomas are defined at the molecular level by the presence of an IDH mutation and codeletion of chromosomal arms 1p and 19q. In the past, case reports and small studies described gliomas with sarcomatous features arising from oligodendrogliomas, so called oligosarcomas. Here, we report a series of 24 IDH-mutant oligosarcomas from 23 patients forming a distinct methylation class.

BACKGROUND Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rare variant of glioblastoma (GBM), which is typically seen in patients age 40-60 years and located in the supratentorial region. We present an unusual case of GS in a young patient with an unusual presentation, which eventually led to the finding of this neoplasm. CASE REPORT Our patient was a 38-year-old woman originally from the Philippines who was transferred to our institution with an isolated left foot drop that developed over the course of several months.
