title: Intracranial osteosarcomas: report of four cases and review of the literature.
abstract: Four cases of intracranial osteosarcoma are reported. In three cases the tumors were primary neoplasms arising from the sellar region, base of the occiput and the parieto-occipital area. One case represented osteosarcoma metastatic to the cerebellum, a site not previously described, from a primary tumor at the femur. In addition, the current literature on intracranial osteosarcoma is reviewed.
