Metastatic malignant teratoid medulloepithelioma - a case report and review of the literature.
Medulloepitheliomas are rare congenital tumours arising from the epithelium lining the medullary tube. They are usually detected in the first decade of life. They may be teratoid or non-teratoid. Regional and distant metastases are rare. Extraocular extension of disease appears to be the most important prognostic feature. Surgical resection is the usual mode of treatment. The role of other adjuvant modalities is as yet unclear.
