我们报告了一例6岁男性患者，因局灶性脑干病变（推测为肿瘤）被转诊至三级肿瘤中心。由于磁共振成像上病变的对称性，扩大了评价范围，以调查其他可能的原因，并最终诊断为亚历山大病（AD）。AD是一种神经退行性疾病，必须纳入后颅窝肿瘤样病变的鉴别诊断中。儿科血液癌症2009; 53：1355-1356。© 2009 Wiley利斯公司
We report the case of a 6‐year‐old male who was referred to a tertiary oncology center with a focal brainstem lesion which was presumed to be neoplastic. Due to the symmetric nature of the lesion on magnetic resonance imaging, the evaluation was expanded to investigate other possible causes and eventual diagnosis of Alexander's disease (AD) was made. AD is a neurodegenerative disease which must be included in the differential for tumor‐like lesions within the posterior fossa. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2009; 53:1355–1356. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
