We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented with the sole complaint of lumbago. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a solitary, well-defined intramedullary mass at the L1-L2 level typical of a primary spinal cord germinoma. However, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a concomitant lesion in the suprasellar region. This article describes a rare case of simultaneously detected intracranial and intramedullary spinal cord germinoma and its possible etiopathology.
我们报告了一例 28 岁男性患者,其唯一主诉为腰痛。脊柱磁共振成像(MRI)显示 L1-L2 水平有一个孤立的、边界清楚的髓内肿块,这是原发性脊髓生殖细胞瘤的典型表现。然而,颅脑磁共振成像(MRI)显示鞍上区域同时存在病变。本文描述了一例罕见的同时检测到颅内和脊髓髓内生殖细胞瘤的病例,并探讨了其可能的病因学。
