A 15-year-old boy had metastasis to the spinal cord and then to the lung after an operation to remove a primary medulloblastoma. A medulloblastoma developed at the age of 10 years. The tumor was completely resected and the brain and spinal cord were irradiated. At the age of 13 years, metastasis to the sacral spinal cord developed and was treated with radiotherapy and intramedullary injection of methotrexate. At the age of 15 years, metastasis to the lung developed and was treated with chemotherapy (CBDCA, VP-16) followed by radiotherapy. Three months after the end of that therapy, the disease recurred but another course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (VCR) was successful. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were effective against metastatic lesions of medulloblastoma. With improvement in the survival rate among patients with medulloblastoma, we can expect incidence of extraneural metastases to increase. In addition to recurrence of the primary lesion and intramedullary dissemination, these metastatic lesions also require attention.
