A case of gliosarcoma with cartilaginous component is described. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies confirmed the presence of glial and fibroblastic elements. A major part of the sarcomatous tissue was undifferentiated and not labeled by any of the markers used including those for endothelial cells. The cartilage cells also were not labeled either by antiglial fibrillary acidic protein or any other marker. The occurrence and histogenesis of cartilage in gliomas and gliosarcomas have been reviewed.
