Medulloblastoma (MB)
Synonyms
Previously referred to as posterior fossa primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), PNET-MB
MB histologically similar to PNET but biologically distinct
MB distinguished from PNET by i17q, loss of 17p, alterations of sonic hedgehog (SHH) and wingless (Wnt) pathways, pattern of DNA methylation
