摘要
Medulloblastoma is the most common central nervous system malignancy in children; however, it is significantly less common among adults, particularly elderly individuals. We herein report an unusual case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with progressive dizziness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a heterogeneous solid mass located near the right tentorium of the cerebellum. The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumor and microscopic examination revealed histological and immunohistochemical characteristics consistent with a diagnosis of medulloblastoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first complete report on the oldest medulloblastoma patient in China.
