Summary The case of a 22-year-old female suffering from glioblastoma with sarcomatous component (WHO; gliosarcoma) is presented. The tumor consisted of glioblastomatous and sarcomatouos components, and in part of the pleomorphic astrocytomatous region of the glioblastoma there was a prominent production of myxoid matrix. On the basis of its histochemical and immunohistochemical characteristics, the present case strongly suggested that glial cells of neuroectodermal origin assume part of the responsibility for production of myxoid material.
