Medulloblastoma is a common malignant brain tumor in childhood, but a rare disease amongst adults. The tendency to metastasize along cerebrospinal fluid pathways is well known. Extraneural metastases represent only a small number of recurrences and are associated with a poor outcome. Encouraging results of high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation were reported previously in children with recurrent malignant brain tumors.
