Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Histological subclassification and adjuvant therapy have improved prognostication and outcome. Extraneural metastasis remains a poor prognostic factor and subcutaneous seeding is rarely encountered and reported in the pediatric population. We report a 3-year-old child who rapidly presented with subcutaneous seeding a month following gross total resection of his tumor.
