Overview
Germinoma must be differentiated from other lesions in the pineal and suprasellar region, such as glial tumors which include astrocytomas and gangliomas, granular cell tumor, hamartomas, xanthogranuloma, meningiomas, colloid cysts, craniopharyngioma, cysticercosis, metastatic cancer with unknown primary site, pineal tumors, and pituitary macroadenomas.[1]
Differential Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of germinoma includes the following:[1]
- Glial Tumors - Astrocytomas, gangliomas
- Granular cell tumor
- Hamartomas
- Xanthogranuloma
- Meningiomas
- Colloid cysts
- Craniopharyngioma
- Cysticercosis
- Metastatic Cancer with unknown primary site
- Pineal Tumors
- Pituitary macroadenomas
