Abstract 

Leukemia of mixed lineage, was diagnosed in a 6.5-year-old boy with a history of medulloblastoma, 38 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. Therapy had included craniospinal radiation and nitrosourea-based chemotherapy. In addition, onset of leukemia was preceded by therapy with recombinant growth hormone for short stature. Although rare, leukemia is a treatment-related complication for patients with past brain tumors whose follow-up should therefore include surveillance with complete blood counts.
