We describe a case of medulloblastoma maturating into ganglioglioma during therapy. A 10-month-old boy was diagnosed with a desmoplastic medulloblastoma and was treated with gross total resection followed by induction chemotherapy. A recurrence in the tumor bed during therapy was managed with focal radiation therapy and consolidation chemotherapy. After further progression, the recurrent tumor ...
متن کاملMR Findings of Desmoplastic Fibroblastoma: A Case Report
fibrous, soft-tissue tumor first described by Evans (1) in 1995. This tumor is clinically and morphologically distinct and was deemed completely benign in a few reported series (1-3). There have also been published case reports on the MR features of desmoplastic fibroblastoma (4-8). We herein present a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma with special focus on the MR findings, because they are di...
متن کاملNodule formation and desmoplasia in medulloblastomas-defining the nodular/desmoplastic variant and its biological behavior.
Among the variants of medulloblastoma in the current WHO classification of nervous system tumors, the desmoplastic variant, which has been reported to constitute 5%-25% of pediatric medulloblastomas, is defined by its nodular collections of neurocytic cells bounded by desmoplastic internodular zones. We have studied the frequency, morphological features and biological behavior of medulloblastom...
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...
