  • Title: Bilateral germinoma of the basal ganglia.
    Author: Rossi A, Garrè ML, Ravegnani M, Nozza P, Abbruzzese A, Giangaspero F, Tortori-Donati P.
    Journal: Pediatr Blood Cancer; 2008 Jan; 50(1):177-9. PubMed ID: 16700048.
    Abstract:
    Germinoma arising in the bilateral basal ganglia is exceedingly rare, with only five cases reported to date. Owing to non-specific clinical findings and the frequent presence of ill-defined abnormalities without a definite tumor mass on neuroimaging, the diagnosis can be difficult. We describe a case in which magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) findings suggested a tumor and supported the decision to perform biopsy of the lesion.
