Abstract
A 33-year-old man with an intramedullary spinal cord germinoma was treated successfully with partial resection, combined chemotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide, and reduced-dose local-field radiation therapy. The authors believe this is the first case without syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells so treated. The literature is reviewed, and the appearance, radiologic and histopathologic features, and treatment of germinomas are discussed. Copyright RSNA, 2002Entities:
