# Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis From Medulloblastoma in a Young Adult: Case Report and Literature Review

## TL;DR

A rare case of medulloblastoma relapse with cervical lymph node metastasis in a young adult is reported and reviewed.

## Contribution

This case report highlights an unusual extraneural metastasis in an adult with medulloblastoma.

## Key findings

- Medulloblastoma is rare in adults and predominantly affects males.
- Extraneural metastases are infrequent, but this case shows cervical lymph node involvement.
- Multimodal treatment improves prognosis, but relapse with metastasis remains a challenge.

## Abstract

Medulloblastoma, an embryonal tumor located in the posterior fossa of the brain, originates from the neuro-epidermal layer of the cerebellum. It is the most prevalent malignant tumor in children, while it is rare in adults and predominantly affects males. Multimodal therapeutic interventions, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, have substantially enhanced the prognosis of this condition. Extraneural metastases are infrequent. We present a case of medulloblastoma relapse with nodal metastasis in a 28-year-old adult.
