Abstract

Though medulloblastoma is considered as a childhood brain tumor, it may occur less frequently in adolescents and rarely in adults. While desmoplastic medulloblastoma histologic variant is observed in approximately 15% of childhood cases, it constitutes more than 50% of adult cases. In this article, we discuss a desmoplastic medulloblastoma case in view of the current literature.
