The fine structure of a case of cerebellar midline “medullomyoblastoma” was examined. The study demonstrated neuroblastic and glial elements, in addition to myoblasts and unequivocal striated muscle fibers. In view of the presence of neuroectodermal and mesenchymal elements, the authors believe that this type of tumor should be classified as a teratoid neoplasm rather than a sarcoma.
