As the main treatment modality of central neural system germinomas is radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, the exact initial diagnosis of the disease is crucial. Depending on the different national protocols, histologic verification can be obligatory in some instances. This is a serious challenge, taking into account the usual location and nonspecific macroscopic appearance of these lesions. Here, we propose a safe and effective method of intraoperative tumor enhancement that can increase the confidence of the surgeon during the intervention.

Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to assess the detectability of circulating-tumor DNA (ctDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a biomarker for monitoring CNS-GCT patients.
- * Results showed that ctDNA could be detected in 89% of diagnostic samples, indicating its potential for non-invasive diagnosis and treatment response monitoring in future CNS-GCT research.

A 27-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after a year of marriage due to infertility. During laparoscopic exploratory surgery, the presence of a retrovesical uterus was clearly observed, and the gonadal organs were visible on both sides. However, the testicles or ovaries were not identifiable, nor were the spermatic vessels and fallopian tubes at the joint.

Introduction: Intracranial germinomas mainly arise in the pineal gland or neurohypophyseal region. The basal ganglia have been reported as the site of occurrence for ectopic germinomas, whereas other sites have been rarely described. We experienced a case of multifocal ectopic germinoma that arose in the septum pellucidum and the dorsal brain stem, not including the pineal gland, neurohypophysis, and basal ganglia of ectopic germinoma in a pregnant woman.
