lüll Long-term survival in a child with a central nervous system medulloepithelioma Moftakhar P; Fan X; Hurvitz CH; Black KL; Danielpour MJ Neurosurg Pediatr 2008[Nov]; 2 (5): 339-45Central nervous system medulloepitheliomas are extremely rare and malignant (World Health Organization Grade IV) primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) that arise in childhood. Unlike other PNETs, medulloepitheliomas have a dismal prognosis, with only 2 reported cases in the literature in which the patient survived beyond 5 years after treatment. The authors report on the third known case of a child who survived longer than 5 years. A review of all the published cases of medulloepithelioma is also presented, and alternative treatment strategies for PNET tumors, including high-dose chemotherapy with stem-cell rescue, are discussed.|Antineoplastic Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Brain Neoplasms/mortality/*pathology/*therapy[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Combined Modality Therapy[MESH]|Disease-Free Survival[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neuroectodermal Tumors, Primitive/mortality/*pathology/*therapy[MESH]|Survival Rate[MESH] |
