The cases of a father and his son who were diagnosed with pathologically confirmed colloid cysts of the third ventricle are presented. The familial occurrence of this tumor is rare and suggests that genetic factors may play a role in its formation. Consistent with the concept that the cyst originates as a developmental abnormality, it is associated with a variety of congenital defects. The conditions that are associated with these tumors are discussed.
本文报道了一例经病理确诊为第三脑室胶样囊肿的父亲及其儿子的病例。这种肿瘤的家族性发生很罕见，提示遗传因素可能在其形成中起作用。与囊肿起源于发育异常的概念一致，它与多种先天性缺陷有关。本文讨论了与这些肿瘤相关的情况。
