A 9‐year‐old Japanese boy with bone marrow necrosis associated with metastatic medulloblastoma is reported. The diagnosis of bone marrow necrosis was obtained nine months after operative removal of the medulloblastoma. Bone marrow necrosis was treated with a combination chemotherapy, but unfortunately he died of disseminated metastasis of medulloblastoma. This case suggests that the prognosis of bone marrow necrosis would be attributable to the behavior of the original tumor.
