Alpha-fetoprotein in intracranial malignant teratoma
Surgical Neurology
|November 1, 1979
Abstract:
Serum alpha-fetoprotein was identified in five patients with histologically verified teratomas and in one patient with a suspected malignant teratoma. Detection of serum alpha-fetoprotein is specifically indicative of malignant teratoma, as no other known type of intracranial tumor produces it.
