Bifocal medulloblastoma in an adult: A case report and review of the literature

Medulloblastoma is a malignant embryonal neuroepithelial tumour, rarely occurring in adults. The 2021 WHO CNS classification subdivided medulloblastoma into 4 groups based on molecular data, which may correspond to morphological features on imaging which are useful to recognise. Differential diagnoses in adults include ependymoma, hemangioblastoma, metastases, lymphoma, and high-grade glioma. We report the case of a double cerebellar medulloblastoma in a 34-year-old adult. We also highlight the differential diagnosis between medulloblastoma and other posterior cerebellar fossa tumours in adults providing practical elements to help suggest the most accurate diagnosis.

Abstract

Medulloblastoma is a malignant embryonal neuroepithelial tumour, rarely occurring in adults. The 2021 WHO CNS classification subdivided medulloblastoma into 4 groups based on molecular data, which may correspond to morphological features on imaging which are useful to recognise. Differential diagnoses in adults include ependymoma, hemangioblastoma, metastases, lymphoma, and high-grade glioma. We report the case of a double cerebellar medulloblastoma in a 34-year-old adult. We also highlight the differential diagnosis between medulloblastoma and other posterior cerebellar fossa tumours in adults providing practical elements to help suggest the most accurate diagnosis.
