title: Gliosarcomas: pathological spectrum.
abstract: Pathological spectrum as seen in sixteen cases of gliosarcomas out of 81 cases of glioblastomas is described. Temporal lobe involvement (37.5%) and fibrosarcomatous pattern (62.5%) were found to be most frequent. Osteochondromatous element was found in recurrence of one gliosarcoma.
