Long-term survival following extra-neural metastasis from a pineoblastoma.
A young woman presented with a pineoblastoma treated initially with whole neuraxis radiotherapy. She had biopsy confirmed metastatic disease to the left lateral pelvis which was treated on 2 separate occasions, and biopsy confirmed metastatic disease to the subcutaneous tissues of the left thigh. She currently remains well 8 years after the primary diagnosis and 6 years after the first systemic relapse.
