Intracranial medulloepithelioma. A case report and review of the literature.
2007
: Medulloepithelioma is a rare primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the central nervous system usually developing in childhood, displaying highly malignant behaviour, with early progression or recurrence. The Authors report a new case of intracranial medulloepithelioma removed from the right cerebellar hemisphere of a 13-year-old boy who showed unspecific signs of intracranial hypertension. Based on a review of the thirty seven cases reported in the literature, they analyse the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural and therapeutic features of this rare nervous system tumour.
