Monosomy 22 in rhabdoid or atypical tumors of the brain.

abstract：:A case of brain-stem hemangioma calcificans is described. The few cases reported in the literature prove the rarity of this tumor, which is considered a benign variant of cerebral cavernous hemangioma. Diagnosis and treatment of these tumors are briefly discussed with a review of the literature including 11 previous c...
