Definition : 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.
