The case history of a 23-year-old patient suffering from germinoma of the pineal region, who later developed a seminoma of the right testis, is reported. The possibility that the testicular tumor was a metastasis from the pineal neoplasia appears unlikely. The question of whether the pineal germinoma represented a metastasis from an occult testicular seminoma or an autochthonous tumor is discussed. The latter hypothesis is considered the most likely. The present report appears to support the multiple primary origin of, at least some, germ cell tumors.
报告了一名23岁患有松果体区生殖细胞瘤的患者病例，该患者后来右侧睾丸发生了精原细胞瘤。睾丸肿瘤是松果体肿瘤转移灶的可能性似乎不大。文中讨论了松果体生殖细胞瘤是隐匿性睾丸精原细胞瘤的转移灶还是原发性肿瘤这一问题。后一种假设被认为是最有可能的。本报告似乎支持至少部分生殖细胞肿瘤的多原发起源。
