[Cerebellopontine angle meningeal melanocytoma: a benign tumor?]

30 Jul 2009 We report a case of a rare meningeal melanocytoma in the cerebellopontine angle. One year after tumor gross total removal, the patient suffered a sudden and devastating meningeal melanomatosis. The relevant literature is reviewed looking for the ... Read more...

Wilms tumor, AML and medulloblastoma in a child with cancer prone syndrome of total premature chromatid separation and Fanconi anemia.

30 Jul 2009 Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common primary renal tumor in childhood. The occurrence of WT in patients with growth retardation, mental retardation and central nervous system abnormalities in association with premature chromatid separation (PCS) and ... Read more...

Cognitive deficits and predictors 3 years after diagnosis of a pilocytic astrocytoma in childhood.

9 May 2009 PURPOSE To prospectively study cognitive deficits and predictors 3 years after diagnosis in a large series of pediatric patients treated for pilocytic astrocytoma (PA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-one of 67 children were grouped according to ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebellar Neoplasms'

Definition: Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs. (From Okazaki & Scheithauer, Atlas of Neuropathology, 1988, p86 and p141)
