Pilocytic astrocytoma - atypical

Discussion:

Surgical biopsy identified a pilocytic astrocytoma. By far the most likely location is in the cerebellum ( more than 50% ).

Although one of the commonest posterior fossa tumors in a teenager/young adult, it is uncommon to have mutlifocality as in this case.

It is not a primary brain tumor recognized for multifocality of CSF seeding unlike others, such as medulloblastoma.
