    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Oncology

    Background:

    • Medulloblastoma is a primary brain tumor typically affecting children.
    • Extracranial metastasis from medulloblastoma is uncommon, especially in adults.
    • This case presents a rare adult medulloblastoma with metastatic spread.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old male diagnosed with medulloblastoma underwent surgical resection.
    • Postoperative cobalt-60 (60Co) irradiation led to initial good clinical recovery.
    • Cervical lymph node metastases appeared 2.5 years post-treatment.

    Findings:

    • The patient received further cytostatic treatment and a second course of 60Co radiation therapy.
    • Survival was extended to 6 years from symptom onset.

  • Death occurred due to bronchopneumonia, suggesting potential complications of advanced disease or treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of late extracranial recurrence in adult medulloblastoma.
    • It underscores the importance of long-term surveillance for adult medulloblastoma patients.
    • Understanding metastatic pathways is crucial for managing this rare presentation.
