This is a case report of a 10-year-old female, suffering from Tricho-Dento-Osseous syndrome who was under treatment with penicillamine.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue.

There is little evidence to guide the choice of chemotherapeutic agents for osseous metastases in medulloblastoma. Recently, triple therapy with temozolomide, irinotecan, and bevacizumab has been reported to have efficacy in recurrent medulloblastoma, and this regimen alone and in combination with other agents has been tested in several early-phase clinical trials. Here we report a 20-year-old ...
