Hemorrhagic Cerebellar Anaplastic Glioma Appearing 12 Years After Prophylactic Cranial Radiotherapy for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

Abstract

A radiation-induced cerebellar glioma is extremely rare, and the etiology of such a tumor is unknown. We report a rare case of hemorrhagic cerebellar anaplastic glioma occurring 12 years after prophylactic cranial radiotherapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia. We discuss the etiologies of the radiation-induced hemorrhagic cerebellar glioma as a secondary malignancy after radiotherapy.
