Descriptor meduloblastoma
Entry term(s) meduloblastoma desmoplásico

sarcoma aracnoideo cerebeloso circunscrito
sarcoma cerebeloso aracnoideo circunscrito
Scope note: Neoplasia maligna que puede clasificarse como glioma o como un tumor neuroectodérmico primitivo que se produce en la infancia (ver TUMOR NEUROECTODÉRMICO PRIMITIVO). El tumor ocurre con mayor frecuencia en la primera década de la vida, afectando típicamente al vermis del cerebelo. Desde el punto de vista histológico se caracteriza por el alto grado de celularidad, imágenes mitóticas frecuentes y la tendencia de las células a organizarse en láminas o en rosetas. Tienen mucha propensión a diseminarse a lo largo del eje craneoespinal intradural.

Scope note: A malignant neoplasm that may be classified either as a glioma or as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of childhood (see NEUROECTODERMAL TUMOR, PRIMITIVE). The tumor occurs most frequently in the first decade of life with the most typical location being the cerebellar vermis. Histologic features include a high degree of cellularity, frequent mitotic figures, and a tendency for the cells to organize into sheets or form rosettes. Medulloblastoma have a high propensity to spread throughout the craniospinal intradural axis. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2060-1)
