Nephrotic syndrome in plasma cell leukaemia - A rare presentation

Sir, Gliosarcomas are uncommon malignant brain tumors consisting of an admixture of neoplastic glial and sarcomatous elements.[1] They account for up to 8% of all glioblastoma multiforme.[1] These tumors are common in elderly individuals[1] In most cases, the sarcomatous areas of the tumors have the appearance of fibrosarcoma and only rarely other types of differentiation, such as, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and osteochondrosarcoma have been reported. [1] We recently found a case of gliosarcoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in a young individual, occurring in cerebellum and because such an occurrence is rare we consider it worthwhile to report this case.
