Abstract
- Reticulum cell sarcoma occurs rarely in central nervous system. It occupies 1-2.5% of all brain tumors. The prognosis is known to be very poor: 3 weeks of mean survival time in case of no treatment, 2 months of mean survival time in case of only surgery, 9 months-3 years of mean survival time in case of both surgery and radiation. We have experienced a case of reticulum cell sarcoma in brain and obtained a good result after surgery and radiation. We report our case with a brief review of the articles.
