Primary intracranial choriocarcinoma (PICCC), a type of germ-cell tumor, is a very rare primary tumor of the central nervous system that generally arises in the pineal or suprasellar region. We present a case of a teenage boy with PICCC of the bilateral basal ganglia, an anatomic site for which we were unable to find the previous reports. We offer discussion of the differential diagnosis, imaging characteristics, and prognosis of PICCC and germ-cell tumors of the basal ganglia, in the hope that it will increase awareness and allow for early detection.
原发性颅内绒毛膜癌(PICCC)是一种生殖细胞肿瘤,是中枢神经系统非常罕见的原发性肿瘤,通常发生于松果体区或鞍上区。我们报告一例患有双侧基底节区原发性颅内绒毛膜癌的青少年男性病例,此前我们未找到关于该解剖部位的相关报道。我们对原发性颅内绒毛膜癌及基底节区生殖细胞肿瘤的鉴别诊断、影像学特征和预后进行了讨论,希望能提高认识并实现早期发现。
