Abstract
A unique gliomesenchymal neoplasm, consisting of a subependymoma, a form of low-grade glioma, and a rhabdomyosarcoma, is described. It arose and recurred in the brain stem of a 52-year-old man. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the presence of a neuroectodermal marker S-100 protein within some sarcoma cells. The occurrence of this rare tumor supports the concept that striated muscle may derive from a neuroectodermal precursor lesion.Entities:
