Sällsynta, blandade tumörer i hjärnan och, mer sällan, i ryggmärgen, vilka innehåller maligna, neuroektodermala (gliala) och mesenkymala komponenter, inklusive spindelformade fibrosarkomceller. Dessa tumörer är mycket aggressiva och visar sig främst hos vuxna som snabbt växande tumörmassor. De kan uppstå i vävnad som tidigare bestrålats.
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.
