Giant parieto-occipital lobe pediatric gliosarcoma: Report of a rare entity and review of literature.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, this case constitutes the second youngest case reported in the literature with the lesion in the parieto-occipital region and the third youngest in all pediatric cases of gliosarcoma. This case demonstrates that possibility of gliosarcoma should always be kept in mind in children presenting with features of intracranial high-grade glial tumor. This case also suggests that significant residual after surgery is one variable that may affect the prognosis despite radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. PMID: 29930877 [PubMed]
