Özet
Gliosarcoma (GS) is a rarely seen form of glioblastoma. These tumors are mostly seen in males older than 60 years of age. It is
extremely rare in pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In this case report, we present a 3-year-old boy with a giant
gliosarcoma. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and histopathologic findings are discussed. A 3 year-old boy with a clinically
diagnosed NF-1 was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of intractable vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) of the brain was suggestive of a large lobulated mass lesion in the left parietal lobe extending to the vertex and slightly
compressing the left lateral ventricle. The final histopathologic diagnosis of the tumor was considered as gliosarcoma. To our
knowledge, this case constitutes the first youngest case with neurofibromatosis type 1 reported in the literature in all pediatric cases
of GS.
