Case Report - Late intrathoracic relapse of pineal germinoma connected to intraspinal canal
Extraneural metastases of intracranial germinoma are rarely reported.
The authors describe the first case of metastatic lung germinoma of the
thoracic spine. A 27-year-old man presented with right shoulder pain
and right upper limb weakness. He had a history of repetitive radiation
therapy - nine (whole-abdomen; 15Gy), 12 (whole brain; 30Gy, whole
spine 42Gy) and 14 years ago (local; 32Gy) - for abdominal metastasis,
temporal and fourth ventricle metastasis and spinal dissemination and
metastatic pineal germinoma, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging
revealed a lung mass invading the thoracic spine that was diagnosed as
a germinoma by tumor biopsy. He was treated by irradiation with 54Gy
and two cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide. He did not
have any sign of tumor eight years later
