| ABSTRACT |
|
The authors report a case of mixed germ cell tumor arising at the third ventricle and extending to the lateral ventricle in a sixteen-year-old male who presented with headache, nausea, vomiting and polydipsia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated a lobulated mass in the third and left lateral ventricle. For surgery, the anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach was used, and on histologic examination three concurrent histologic components were found: germinoma, embryonal carcinoma, and endodermal sinus tumor. |
