AI Article Synopsis
- * Pure germinomas, the most prevalent type, respond well to radiation and tend to have low recurrence rates post-treatment.
- * The presented case involves a pure germinoma located in the cerebellar hemisphere, diagnosed in a patient in their 50s, following successful radiotherapy.
Article Abstract
Germ cell tumors are rare tumors that most commonly occur in the pediatric population. Their usual location is in the pineal gland and above the suprasellar cistern. Pure germinomas, the most common type of germ cell tumor, are exquisitely sensitive to radiation, and rarely recur after radiotherapy treatment. We present a case of a pure germinoma that (1) occurred in the cerebellar hemisphere, (2) in the fifth decade of life, and (3) after being adequately treated with radiotherapy.
