A Posterior Fossa Mass in a 6-Year-Old

We present a case of pediatric medulloblastoma in which hematoxylin-eosin–stained tissue sections, reticulin special stain, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and next-generation sequencing were implemented for the purpose of identifying subgroup and other markers of prognosis, such as TP53 mutation and MYC family member amplification. The discussion herein is aimed at reviewing current opinions on the integration of histomorphologic and molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma and providing a foundation for designing a practical and clinically meaningful approach to diagnosis.
