Differentiation of classic medulloblastoma into metastatic large cell medulloblastoma with focal rhabdoid differentiation in the absence of posterior fossa recurrence.

Abstract:

:A case of classic medulloblastoma that metastasized, despite the absence of local recurrence, to extraneural sites 7 years after treatment is reported. The metastases were, in contrast to the primary tumor, of large cell type and displayed abortive myogenic and, in one site, also rhabdoid differentiation. The primary tumor expressed microtubule-associated protein 1B and neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN), and was desmin negative. The metastases were also positive for microtubule-associated protein 1B and NeuN, although the expression of the latter marker was weak and/or focal in two of four metastases and absent in the rhabdoid metastasis. They were, in contrast with the primary tumor, all strongly positive for desmin. The hSNF5/INI1 was expressed in the nuclei of all cells of the primary tumor and the metastases, including the one with rhabdoid differentiation. Two metastases were studied by cytogenetics. The composite karyotype of a large cell metastasis was 45~46,XY,add(1)(p36.1),t(2;8)(p21;q24.1),add(3)(q25),t(9;15)(q22;q13),add(12)(p11.2), +1approximately2mar,inc[cp12]/46,XY[12], while the rhabdoid metastasis contained additional changes including monosomy 22. These findings indicate that some rhabdoid (atypical teratoid/rhabdoid) tumors of the cerebellum and medulloblastoma may be histogenetically related.
