Özet

Extracranial metastases of pineal region neoplasms are rare. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting to relieve hydrocephalus, a frequent complication of these tumors, might result in tumor seeding into the abdomen and pelvis. We present a case of metastasis of pinealoblastoma over a ventriculoperitoneal shunt diagnosed 6 years after initial presentation of the primary tumor and review the corresponding literature. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
