Abstract: An MRI of her brain revealed an extra-axial-appearing cerebellar tumor (Figure 1) that exhibited characteristics of a meningioma. A complete blood count revealed a mild normocytic anemia with hemoglobin of 11.0 mg/dl, and a chemistry panel with ionized calcium was normal. Pre-operative steroids were administered, and the mass was resected with satisfactory post-operative course and resolution of neurologic symptoms. Pathology revealed a metastatic poorly-differentiated carcinoma. Immunohistochemical stains were positive for AE1/AE3, CDX2, CK7, CK20, and CAM5, consistent with a non-neuronal, gastrointestinal origin.
