[Radiotherapy induced glioblastoma in a child previously treated for cerebellar medulloblastoma (case report and review of the literature)].
Malignant gliomas represent the most frequent radiotherapy induced ("secondary") solid tumor. Their prognosis remains extremely poor despite of aggressive multimodal treatment. We present a case report of a 16 years old boy who developed cerebellar glioblastoma six years following the combined treatment for medulloblastoma. Clinical history, pathological and cytogenetic findings of the case are discussed along with treatment possibilities.
