[A case of primary germinoma in the convex part of the brain (author's transl)].
Cerebral germinoma is a rare tumour reported most frequently in the pineal region or the floor of the third ventricle. Localization in the hemispheres may occur. In the reported case the tumour was situated in the right frontoparietal region. In view of the well-known radiosensitivity of germinomas the treatment of choice is radiotherapy. Precise histological diagnosis is therefore cardinally important for deciding on treatment and establishing the prognosis. CAT scanning allows progress to be monitored.
