INTRODUCTION: The central nervous system (CNS) sarcoma is a rare neoplasm with an incidence of 0.1% to 4.3% in intracranial tumors. They are aggressive with poor prognosis, and mostly treated with radical resection. REPORT: 29 year-old male patient with episodes of seizures and diagnosed with intraparenchymal hemorrhage. During the surgery a well-defined lesion was identified. Histology showed a spindle cell neoplasm with atypia and numerous mitoses. The immunohistochemical markers were positive only for vimentin and S-100. The diagnosis was high-grade undifferentiated sarcoma. CONCLUSION: Metastatic lesions and gliosarcoma should be excluded in the differential diagnosis of CNS sarcomas.
