Mixed germinoma and choriocarcinoma in the intramedullary spinal cord: case report and review of the literature.

abstract：OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE:Central neurocytoma is recognized as a indolent intraventricular tumor arising from the ependyma around the foramen of Monro and anterior part of the lateral ventricles, and well demarcated from the brain parenchyma. Surgical removal can be curative without postoperative therapy. However, malig...
