Abstract:
Growing teratoma syndrome is a well-recognized condition associated with both intracranial and extracranial nongerminomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCTs), which mostly manifest as rapid growth of cystic and solid components during or within several months after treatment. Here, we report a patient with NGGCT who experienced slow growth of intracranial growing teratoma syndrome with intraventricular lipid accumulation over 10 years without any clinical symptoms. Considering the clinicopathologic heterogeneity of this syndrome, long-term clinical and radiologic follow-up is required for all patients with intracranial NGGCT.
