## Abstract Primary germ cell neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare tumors which generally respond to radiotherapy. Experience is limited in managing the refractory patient. We report a patient whose suprasellar dysgerminoma responded completely to 5,000 rad. Seven years later, dis

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The relative roles of surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy in the management of patients with intracranial nongerminomatous malignant germ cell tumors have been controversial. The authors retrospectively investigated the results of different treatment regime
Treatment of recurrent germ cell tumors is a complex undertaking. There are a number of clinical scenarios that can mimic relapse and, as such, a great deal of experience with management of germ cell tumors is required to recognize these rare but important situations that simulate recurrence. If rec
