[Medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma in monozygous twins (author's transl)].
Clinical and neuropathological findings in monozygous twin sisters are reported. Twin I died at age 5 months from a cerebellar medulloblastoma, whereas her sister died at age 16 months from a pineoblastoma. The tumors are considered similar referring to histogenesis, structural peculiarities and growth. Therefore, the twins are seen as concordant for the tumor type.
