Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Mixed germ cell tumors (MGCTs) usually occur in children. In the present report, we discuss an extremely rare case of adult-onset MGCT composed mainly of yolk sac tumor (YST) around the pineal gland.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 54-year-old Japanese man presented with disturbance of consciousness, Parinaud's syndrome, and gait disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pineal mass lesion, and subtotal resection of the tumor was achieved. The histologic diagnosis was MGCT, consisting mainly of YST. Although he underwent 5 courses of chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation after surgery, tumor dissemination could not be controlled, and he died 10 months postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: The present case highlights the need for clinicians to include YST in the differential diagnosis of acute progressive lesions around the pineal region, even in adult patients.
