Medulloblastoma with myogenic differentiation (MMD), previously termed medullomyoblastoma, is a distinctive subtype of medulloblastoma. It is an uncommon neoplasm in children and very rare in adults, with oldest reported case being 49-years of age. We present a case of large cell/anaplastic medulloblastoma with myogenic differentiation arising in the right cerebellar hemisphere of a 54-year-old man treated by surgical resection and radiotherapy. Despite C-MYC amplification in the tumor, he
