Abstract

The tumor was heterogeneously intense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images and was seen extending into the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle [Figure 1]a and b. Evidence of periventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seepage, midline shift and mass effect over third ventricle were seen [Figure 1]b. Focal areas of diffusion restriction, perifocal edema and contrast ring enhancement were seen [Figure 1]c and d. The preoperative diagnosis was high-grade glioma of thalamus. [...]it is highly useful for the diagnosis of gliosarcoma in those laboratories where there are constraints of laboratory resources and technical expertise to use immunohistochemical techniques.
