Posterior fossa recurrence of WHO grade II and III supratentorial gliomas.

CONCLUSION: Non-contiguous PF relapses of ST grade II and III gliomas are rare. A high-grade ST tumor that is concomitantly progressing appears to be a predictor of poor survival. Conversely, the tumor course may be indolent if the ST lesion is low-grade and non-progressive at the time of PF involvement. The possible mechanism(s) behind this tropism are also discussed.
