Intracranial osteosarcomas: report of four cases and review of the literature

J Neurooncol. 1998 Oct;40(1):87-96. doi: 10.1023/a:1006007411312.

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.
