Medulloblastomas are tumors of the posterior fossa that have a propensity to develop leptomeningeal metastases along the spinal cord, commonly known as "drop metastases." Medulloblastoma accounts for approximately 1%-2% of all adult brain tumors, and reports of primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma are extremely limited. Herein, we present a rare case of a 34-year-old woman diagnosed with multifocal primary spinal leptomeningeal medulloblastoma without cranial involvement.
髓母细胞瘤是后颅窝肿瘤,容易沿脊髓发生软脑膜转移,通常称为“播散性转移”。髓母细胞瘤约占所有成人脑肿瘤的1%-2%,而原发性软脑膜髓母细胞瘤的报道极为有限。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名34岁女性被诊断为多灶性原发性脊髓软脑膜髓母细胞瘤,无颅内受累。
