    Endodermal sinus tumors, also known as yolk sac carcinomas, are rare primary brain neoplasms. This study presents a third case of this germ cell tumor occurring in the suprasellar region.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Pathology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Endodermal sinus tumors (yolk sac carcinomas) are rare germ cell neoplasms.
    • Primary intracranial location of these tumors is exceptionally uncommon.
    • The suprasellar region is a rare site for intracranial germ cell tumors.

    Observation:

    • The authors report a rare case of an endodermal sinus tumor in the anterior third ventricular (suprasellar) region.
    • This represents the third reported case of a yolk sac carcinoma in this specific intracranial location.
    • A review of seventeen previously documented intracranial endodermal sinus tumors, predominantly in the pineal region, is included.

    Findings:

    • Endodermal sinus tumors can occur in the suprasellar region, contributing to the understanding of their rare intracranial distribution.

  • The findings highlight the diverse anatomical locations of primary intracranial germ cell tumors.
  • This case adds to the limited literature on suprasellar yolk sac carcinomas.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of endodermal sinus tumors in the suprasellar region for clinicians and radiologists.
    • Potential for improved diagnostic accuracy and timely intervention for patients with this rare neoplasm.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of suprasellar germ cell tumors is warranted.
