  • Title: Primary germinoma of the posterior fossa with CSF and extracranial metastases.
    Author: Ng HK, Poon WS.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1990; 4(3):239-42. PubMed ID: 2397052.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 1-year-old boy presenting clinically and radiologically with a haematoma occurring in the cerebellum. Histological examination revealed a germ cell tumour with a pure germinomatous component. The patient subsequently succumbed with extensive tumour metastases in the spinal cord and the subcutaneous tissues of the scalp. This represents the first comprehensive documented report of a germinoma arising in the posterior fossa.
