Tree Number(s): C04.557.465.625.600.380.400; C04.557.470.670.380.400; C04.557.580.625.600.380.400
Unique ID: D018316
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018316
Annotation: coord IM with precoord brain/neopl term (IM) + site (IM)
Scope Note: Rare mixed tumors of the brain and rarely the spinal cord which contain malignant neuroectodermal (glial) and mesenchymal components, including spindle-shaped fibrosarcoma cells. These tumors are highly aggressive and present primarily in adults as rapidly expanding mass lesions. They may arise in tissue that has been previously irradiated. (From Br J Neurosurg 1995 Apr;9(2):171-8)
Entry Term(s): Glioblastoma with Sarcomatous Component; Sarcomatous Glioma
Previous Indexing: Glioma (1967-1993)
