Primary intracranial sarcoma is a very rare high-grade tumor. Scant reports exist on this malignancy in children, which limit the information about its imaging characteristics. We aimed to describe the main characteristics of primary intracranial sarcoma on MRI. In this cross-sectional descriptive observational study, we reviewed 18 patients (aged 1-18 years) with primary intracranial sarcomas diagnosed between 2015 and 2021. The main findings were contrast enhancement (100%), diffusion restriction (78%), hemorrhage (89%), meningeal extension (67%), necrosis (67%), and supratentorial location (72%). Primary intracranial sarcoma are typically supratentorial in location. MRI findings of primary intracranial sarcoma are similar to other intracranial malignancies.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
