Three cases of extracranial metastases from medulloblastomas are presented of a total of 60 cases statistically analyzed. All are postcraniectomy. The most common metastatic site is bone, followed by the lymph nodes, then other soft tissues. Osseous metastases are mainly to the axial skeleton and consist of osteoblastic and osteolytic types, appearing much the same as metastases from breast carcinoma. In one of the cases presented, the first metastasis recognized was to the breast.
