Medulloblastoma with Excessive Nodularity: Radiographic Features and Pathologic Correlate
Medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity is a rare subtype of the most common malignant childhood brain tumor and has been associated with more favorable prognosis. The authors report the case of a 10-month-old girl with a posterior fossa tumor of excessive nodularity with decreased diffusivity on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequences and robust grape-like postgadolinium cont...
متن کاملA rare case of medulloblastoma with excessive nodularity: imagistic features
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant tumor of childhood. Neuroimaging can play a role in the diagnosis of medulloblastoma, however atypical features do exist [2]. We report the case of a 1 year and 10month-old infant diagnosed with a medulloblastoma with what we term “excessive” nodularity based on neuroimaging features and confirmed by neuropathology. CT-scan (CT) and magnetic resonanc...

A 15-year-old black boy had decreasing visual acui ty and progressive proptosis in the lett eye for 6 months. Ph ysical examination showed a mildly proptotic left eye with light percept ion only, a Marcus Gunn pupil , and a pale disc on fundoscopy. The rig ht eye was entirely normal. There was no history or physical stigmata ot neurofibromatosis or von Hippel-Lindau disease. Optic canal tomogra...
متن کاملMedulloblastoma with extensive nodularity: single photon emission CT study with iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine.
We present the case of an infant with medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity, which had been called cerebellar neuroblastoma. MR imaging clearly revealed a nodular enhancement, which appeared as a grape-like lesion. Single photon emission CT revealed markedly high iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake in the enhancing tumor. Iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine single photon emission CT ma...
متن کاملMedulloblastoma With Extensive Nodularity: Tailored Therapy in a Low-resource Setting.
Treatment for medulloblastoma carries significant risks, particularly in resource-constrained settings. We report a case of a Mexican infant with desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma. Given the nature of her tumor, we developed a tailored regimen following subtotal resection to avoid both radiation therapy and the high-dose cisplatin therapy offered at most centers in the United States. The pat...
