Tumors of medulla oblongata are considered as a unique entity and due to their anatomical relationship their surgical resection is challenging. They can be classified as focal (solid or cystic), exophytic (dorsally or laterally), or diffuse (which may also involve pons or rarely the upper cervical cord). In addition to these main classical groups, there are two subgroups of medulla tumors, namely, the pontomedullary junction and cervicomedullary junction tumors which have unique clinical and radiological presentation. |
