    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric oncology
    • Neuro-oncology
    • Developmental biology

    Background:

    • Ependymoblastoma is a rare and aggressive embryonal tumor of the central nervous system.
    • Dissemination of central nervous system tumors in stillborn infants is exceptionally uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A stillborn, premature male infant presented with a rare central nervous system tumor.
    • Autopsy revealed widespread dissemination of ependymoblastoma within the brain and spinal cord.

    Findings:

    • The primary tumor was identified as ependymoblastoma.
    • Extensive leptomeningeal and parenchymal spread was evident throughout the central nervous system.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for aggressive tumor behavior even in utero.
  • Understanding the dissemination patterns of pediatric brain tumors is crucial for diagnosis and future research.
