A rare case of central nervous system pancreatoblastoma metastasis: illustrative case
Brain metastases from pancreatoblastoma are exceptionally rare and poorly described in the literature. There is no standard therapy for this condition; hence, patients usually undergo treatments similar to those for other central nervous system metastases. All the described patients have had good clinical outcomes yet short-term follow-ups; therefore, further investigations are needed to better understand the best treatments for this condition. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE23764.
