Medulloblastoma (MB) cerebelli is a common brain tumor of the childhood. MB commonly spreads through cerebrospinal fluid; however, there are several reported cases of extracranial spread. The most common sites of extracranial metastasis are bones and bone marrow followed by peritoneum, liver, and lungs. Here, we report a case of pulmonary metastatic lesions of adult cerebellar MB that were discovered 1 year after the primary surgical treatment. We also tried to highlight similar reported cases in the literature.
小脑髓母细胞瘤(MB)是儿童期常见的脑肿瘤。MB通常通过脑脊液扩散;然而,有几例颅外扩散的报道病例。颅外转移最常见的部位是骨骼和骨髓,其次是腹膜、肝脏和肺部。在此,我们报告一例成人小脑MB肺转移瘤病例,该病例在初次手术治疗1年后被发现。我们还试图强调文献中报道的类似病例。
