Rapidly growing calcified cerebellar astrocytoma in infants
1Department of Neurosurgery, Kanagawa Children's Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan.
Abstract:
We report the case of an infant with a cerebellar astrocytoma that showed marked calcification within only 6 months. In general, only slow-growing tumors tend to calcify. To our knowledge, no other case of such rapid calcification in cerebellar astrocytoma has been reported.
