Abstract

There are no previous reports of germinoma primary arising in the lateral ventricle. We describe here a case of a 50-year-old man with lateral ventricular germinoma that showed rapid progression, and this tumor mimicked choroid plexitis.

가쪽뇌실에서 처음 발생한 종자세포종은 지금껏 보고된 예가 없다. 저자들은 50세 남자에서 가쪽뇌실에서 처음 생긴 종자세포종으로서 다른 보고된 종자세포종과는 달리 매우 빠른 진행을 보였고 맥락얼기염(choroid plexitis)으로 오인된 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
