An 11-year-old boy presented with medulloblastoma occurring in the cerebellar vermis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed numerous cysts and calcifications in the tumor. The tumor was subtotally removed and cellular synchronization radiation therapy given. He was discharged without neurological deficits. Histological examination showed the cysts represented necrotic foci. Macrophages, which appeared around the necrotic foci, were important in the development of the calcifications via proliferation of collagen fibers.
