Purpose: We present the unusual occurrence of two distinct neoplasms in a 42-year-old woman with an operated pituitary adenoma 18 years ago.
Methods: Clinical history, magnetic resonance imaging studies and histopathological findings were utilized for our diagnostic considerations.
Results: Concomitant presence of a cerebellar medulloblastoma secondary disseminated within the spinal canal and a pituitary macroadenoma, was identified.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which these two neoplasms are simultaneously occurred in the same individual. A short review of the literature is performed.
