Extra-axial adult cerebellopontine angle medulloblastoma: Revisiting a rare entity.

A purely extra-axial position of medulloblastoma in adults at cerebellopontine (CP) angle is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only ten cases have been reported till date. The authors report a case of extra-axial medulloblastoma in a 30-year-old female located at right CP angle. It was surgically treated with a provisional diagnosis of meningioma. Histopathological diagnosis of desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma was made with the routine hematoxylin eosin (HE) stain and immunohistochemical markers. This case report highlights the fact that, although extremely rare, the possibility of an extra-axial CP angle mass being a medulloblastoma still needs to be considered in the differential diagnoses, even in adults.
