Abstract: 
Gliosarcoma is a rare and aggressive brain tumor characterized by the coexistence of glioblastoma and sarcoma-like elements within the central nervous system. This malignant neoplasm presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its complex histological features and aggressive behavior. This article provides an overview of gliosarcoma, including its histological characteristics, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment options, and ongoing research efforts to improve patient outcomes. Despite its poor prognosis, advances in targeted therapies and multidisciplinary approaches offer hope for enhancing the management of this challenging disease.
