  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The autopsy findings of two cases of ataxia-telangiectasia who had primary brain tumor were reported. Case I was 10 year old boy with reti-culosarcoma in the Rt frontal lobe and case II was 16 year old girl with medulloblastoma in the cerebellum. The disease of ataxia-telangiectasia were rare condition of childhood, characterized by progressive ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, low immunoglobulin in serum, frequent infection and occasional death from malignant tumor.

From the literatures, there were about 10 cases of ataxia telangiectasia who had malignant tumor and only 2 of them were of primary intracranial in origin.

Young (1964) reported mixed glioma in the frontal lobe and Schuster (1964) medulloblastoma in cerebellum. No reports were made in Japan so far. The primary intracranial tumors occurred in the course of ataxia telangiectasia like our cases, are therefore considered to be extremely rare.

Further discussion was made as to the possible relation to the hypof unction of thymus to the immunological abnormality, viral infection and malignant tumor.
