Skeletal metastases from medulloblastoma

Abstract
Summary At the present time patients with medulloblastoma survive longer due to improved therapy. The extracranial metastases are a manifestation of the longer survival and may be related to surgical intervention. It is important that clinicians be aware of this entity and not subject a child with a known medulloblastoma to further unnecessary investigation should he/she present with destructive metaphyseal lesions.
