| مستخلص: |
Intracranial germinomas mostly occur in teenagers and young adults. The common sites are pineal and suprasellar regions. Males with Klinefelter syndrome, compared with males without chromosomal abnormalities, are known to have a higher incidence of developing pineal or suprasellar germinomas. As for germinoma in the medulla oblongata, this is rare, with only 21 previous cases reported. Due to the rarities, any relationship between people with Klinefelter syndrome and medulla oblongata germinomas remains undetermined. We present a rare case of medulla oblongata germinoma in a 25-year-old man. It is the second case of medulla oblongata germinoma in association with Klinefelter syndrome. We emphasize the importance of karyotyping in every case of germinoma, especially those with intracranial germinomas at atypical locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
