Medulloblastoma with extensive calcification.
Calcification in cases of medulloblastoma has been described with varying frequency (10%-15.4%) on computed tomographic (CT) scan. Usually these calcifications are small in size and speckled. The authors report a case of medulloblastoma with extensive calcification in the lateral hemisphere of the cerebellum in an 18-year-old boy.
