ABSTRACT

Primary cerebral seminomatous germ cell tumors are rare. They are located preferentially in medial structures, often in the pineal region. They most often affect children or young adults, with a predominance in the second decade of life. The management of intracranial germ cell tumors is not consensual. But exclusive external radiotherapy would be effective with a reduced dose in a limited brain volume. It is in this context that we report our clinical case from a patient with a primary seminoma of the pineal gland that responded well to exclusive external radiotherapy without neurological morbidity. Résumé: Les tumeurs germinales séminomateuses cérébrales primitives sont rares. Elles sont localisées préférentiellement aux structures médianes, souvent région pinéale. Elles touchent le plus souvent l’enfant ou l’adulte jeune avec une prédominance au cours de la 2ème décennie. La prise en charge des tumeurs germinales intracrâniennes n’est pas consensuelle. Mais la radiothérapie externe exclusive serait efficace avec une dose réduite dans un volume cérébral limité. C’est dans ce contexte que nous rapportons notre cas clinique à partir d’un patient présentant un séminome primitif de la glande pinéale ayant bien répondu à la radiothérapie externe exclusive sans morbidité neurologique.
