Rapidly Progressing Germinoma Arising in the Lateral Ventricle and This Mimicked Choroid Plexitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
tumors and the usual location for intracranial germinomas is the midline structures such as the pineal and suprasellar regions (1). To the best of our knowledge, intracranial germinoma primary arising in the lateral ventricle has not yet been reported in the medical literature. We describe here a case of lateral ventricular germinoma that showed rapid progression and it mimicked choroid plexitis.

Abstract Background: Choroid plexus (CP) is a branched structure made up of a single layer of epithelial cells and blood capillaries, forming the blood-CSF-barrier. The CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) is mainly produced from the CP. Aquaporin1 (AQP1), water channels that are highly expressed on the apical side of the membrane in choroid plexus, have a major role in mediating water transport across th...
متن کاملGerminoma of the pituitary gland; a report of two cases.
Intracranial germinomas are usually situated in the pineal, but sometimes they arise in the infundibular region of the third ventricle (ectopic pinealoma) and may rarely extend down into the pituitary fossa. Two cases of germinoma arising within the pituitary gland and presenting with hypopituitarism, are described; no report of any similar cases could be found.
متن کاملChoroid plexus papillomas of the foramen of Luschka: MR appearance.
Choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial neoplasms that are most commonly found in the trigone of the lateral ventricles or in the fourth ventricle. Rare cases of extraventricular choroid plexus papillomas have been reported within the cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern [1-6]. Such cases have been described as either extending from the fourth ventricle via the foramen of Luschka or aris...
متن کاملSynchronized multiple regression of diagnostic radiation-induced rather than spontaneous: disseminated primary intracranial germinoma in a woman: a case report
INTRODUCTION Examples of the spontaneous regression of primary intracranial germinomas can be found in the literature. We present the case of a patient with disseminated lesions of primary intracranial germinoma which synchronously shrunk following diagnostic irradiation. We will discuss whether this regression was spontaneous or radiation-induced. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old Japanese wom...
متن کاملChoroid plexus carcinoma: A case report
Choroid plexus tumor (CPT) is a rare neoplasm, arising from the neuroepithelial lining.1 After its first description in 1832, more than 500 CPT patients have been described in literature.2 Three quarters of the patients are children, with tumors most often found in the lateral ventricles. In adults, the fourth ventricle and its recesses are the most common sites of origin.1 The histopathology o...
