Abstract

Medulloblastoma (MB), the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood, is classified according to pathomorphologic characteristics in the group of central nervous system embryonal tumors, but both its pathogenesis and biologic behavior remain unknown. In addition, the relationship of MB to other embryonal brain tumors is debated and response to therapy is difficult to predict. The authors report an uncommon case of unfavorable late relapse, local as well as distant, in a 26-year old male patient, who was free of disease and without treatment-related morbidity for fifteen years after combined therapy for pediatric MB.
