CT of pineal tumors and intracranial germ-cell tumors.
We reviewed 59 cases of pineal tumors and intracranial germ-cell tumors. Most pineal tumors occurred in the first three decades of life, with the exception of pineocytomas, which were seen at a mean age of 34. A male preponderance was noted in the various pineal tumors, except for pineocytomas. The most common tumor of the pineal region was germinoma, which usually showed high density with homo...
متن کاملPineal region tumors--neurosurgical review.
The treatment for the pineal region tumors depends on tumor histology. Nowadays, germinomas can be cured by radiotherapy and chemotherapy without surgical resection but the other pineal region tumors should be primary treated by surgery. Two microsurgical approaches, the infratentorial supracerebellar and the occipital transtentorial, are accepted as the main standard accesses to the pineal reg...
متن کاملIsochromosome 12p-positive pineal germ cell tumor.
We report the chromosomal characteristics of a recurrent pineal non-seminomatous germ cell tumor in a 16-year-old male patient. This non-seminomatous tumor had the following components: embryonal carcinoma, teratoma, yolk sac tumor, and trophoblastic giant cells. Chromosome analysis showed a near-triploid karyotype (64 chromosomes), including two copies of an isochromosome 12p. This latter find...
متن کاملRe-irradiation of Recurrent Pineal Germ Cell Tumors with Radiosurgery: Report of Two Cases and Review of Literature
Primary intracranial germ cell tumors are rare, representing less than 5% of all central nervous system tumors. Overall, the majority of germ cell tumors are germinomas and approximately one-third are non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT), which include teratoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor (endodermal sinus tumor), choriocarcinoma, or mixed malignant germ cell tumor. Germ cell tum...
متن کاملIntracranial germ cell tumors.
Intracranial germ cell tumors are a heterogeneous group of lesions which occur in children and adults. Within the classification of intracranial germ cell tumors, there are a variety of different tumor types which carry different prognoses. The diagnosis of an intracranial germ cell tumor usually requires histological information, but a subgroup of tumors will secrete specific tumor markers, in...
