Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. Our knowledge of medulloblastoma has been advanced by the study of genetic cancer predisposition syndromes, which are associated with approximately 6% of cases. 1 We describe a case of a novel germline GNAS mutation in medulloblastoma, in accordance with the CARE guidelines. 2The patient is an 18-month-old male child with small size for age and polydactyly without other dysmorphic features who presented to an outside hospital with a 6-week history of loss of gross motor milestones and torticollis. A three-generation pedigree is shown in Figure 1A. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as shown in Figure 1B and C revealed a 54× 56× 49 mm mass in the cerebellar vermis and obstructive hydrocephalus. Surgical resection and placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed. Pathology was consistent with medulloblastoma, desmoplastic/nodular subtype, sonic hedgehog (SHH)-activated and TP53-wildtype, with TP53 status confirmed via immunohistochemistry. Brain MRI on postoperative day 6 was consistent with a subtotal resection. Spine MRI on postoperative day 29 was without evidence of metastases. No staging cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation was performed.
