Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Primary germ cell tumor (GCT) in the pineal region is very rare among all primary intracranial neoplasms. Here, we present the F-FDG PET/CT findings of a pineal mixed GCT in a 14-year-old boy. PET/CT showed little uptake of F-FDG in the mass in the pineal region, whereas MR imaging showed contrast enhancement of solid component and low-signal-intensity areas at the septa of the cystic mass. Pathologic examination after surgical resection revealed the lesion to be a mixed GCT, with components of a mature teratoma (90%) and choriocarcinoma (10%). PET scans could be useful in determining the degree of malignancy in mixed tumors. |
