Primary intra-cranial germ-cell tumors are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms, identical to germ-cell tumors of gonads and other organs. These tumors arise along the midline, from the supra-sellar cistern to the pineal gland, and have neurological, ophthalmological, and endocrinological expression. The diagnosis is established by detection of increased levels of tumoral markers and/or by histological examination. The treatment includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
