Monstrocellular Sarcoma: A Case of Primary Brain Sarcoma

Abstract

Here is reported a case of Monstrocellular sarcoma observed at a 19 years old male. it is reported as a "Case Report" because of the discussions about its anatomy and its scarcety is the matter. The patient is 2 times operated. The firs! time we carried out on subtotal extirpation, the further time all the tumoral tissues extirpated. Buı the patient expired a month af ter thal. The incidence of Monstrocellular Cerebral Sareoma encountered in the 1000 cases of brain turnor operated in our clinic during the last 20 years is no more than 2. This in our opinion the rarity of this type of brain tumor among st others. The case is also worthy of attention because of its rapidly progressive clinical course. That is why we thought the presen! case would be worth reporting.
