Atypical pineal teratoma: clinical and computer tomographic features of two patients with disseminated ependymal lesions

Abstract: Two cases of atypical pineal teratoma (APT) with massive ventricular dissemination are reported; the diagnosis was based on CT appearances and characteristic neurological and endocrinological abnormalities. Both patients responded well to radiotherapy. The CT features and the management of these patients are discussed.

Intracranial germ cell tumor mimicking anorexia nervosa

et al. 1991

A previously healthy seventeen-year-old boy developed loss of weight, poor appetite, and aversion to food. Physical examination being normal, anorexia nervosa was suspected. Thirteen months later a CT scan revealed a mass in the third ventricle histologically proven to be a malignant teratoma. To our knowledge anorexia nervosa is only extremely rarely the presenting feature of intracranial germ cell tumors.

Mature teratomas are rare inclusion tumors, which have benign behaviors. Different locations of the tumor were reported in the literature. However, multiple tumor locations are extremely rare. An eight year old patient presented with an intraventricularly mature teratoma. During the six year follow up-period, two separately located masses were observed in the chest area and in the right iliac region, and both tumors were histologically diagnosed as mature teratomas. In this study, this unique case of mature teratoma presented with multiple locations in three separate body compartments. Furthermore, intraventricular dissemination with sellar and parasellar extension was observed in the third ventricle.
