The clinicopathological findings in 6 patients with germ cell tumors originating in the basal ganglia and thalamus are presented. Clinical, biological and diagnostic features were somewhat different from germ cell tumors in the pineal region. Early and comprehensive treatment is recommended because of the possible presence of nongerminomatous germ cell components.
