[Malignant stem-cell tumor of the pineal region with unusual differentiation (author's transl)]
Abstract
Report on a boy aged 10 with a malignant mixed stem-cell tumor of the pineal region. The tumor consists of an adult teratoma, circuscribed teratocarcinoma, endodermal sinus-tumor-like, choriocarcinomatous and germinoma (pinealoma) tous parts. The various parts of this tumor demonstrate the multipotentiality of stem-cells. Stem-cells produce similarly composed tumors also in other region.
