Abstract
Sethi et al collected data retrospectively on symptoms, as well as time to and method of diagnosis, in 70 pediatric patients with an intracranial germ cell tumor (GCT) cared for at the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1998 to 2012. Forty patients had a pure germinoma (PG) and 30 had a nongerminomatous GCT. More than one-half of patients were evaluated by one or more pediatric subspecialists prior to diagnosis and more than one-half of patients had a delay of ≥6 months from onset of symptoms to the diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging study.
