Abstract
The large majority of medulloblastomas occur within the first decade of life with a peak incidence between 4 and 7 years of age. However, cases in adolescence and indeed adulthood are well described. There is an approximately 1.7:1 male to female ratio. There is a suggestion that the incidence of PNETs in persons under 20 years of age is increasing to now lie at around five per 106 person years.3 This equates to around 90 patients diagnosed with medulloblastoma in the UK each year.Keywords
