[Primary seminoma of the mediastinum: diagnostic and therapeutic approach]. 1984

E Montresor, and F Abrescia, and C Iacono, and A Sandrini, and F Carolo, and S Modena

The Authors show three cases of mediastinal seminoma, and discuss the epidemiologic, etiopathogenetic and clinical aspects of such neoplasms; they dwell upon the criteria allowing to define as primitive an extragonadal germinal tumour, and emphasize the importance of the multidisciplinary therapeutical approach in controlling these neoplasms, characterized anyhow in the pure forms by a remarkable sensitiveness to radium; promising looks the use of the tumoral markers (beta-HCG and AFP) for a diagnostical specification, for the choice of the treatment and for the evaluation of its effects.

D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.
