Twenty three cases of primary intracranial germinomas including five cases of germinomas with syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells are studied and analyzed, with special reference to the recurrence under radiotherapy. The follow-up period for all cases was 7 months to 12 years (average: 5.8 years) with that for pure germinomas ranging from 8 months to 12 years (average: 5.7 years) and that for germinomas with syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells ranging from 7 months to 11 years (average: 6.3 years). Late recurrence was observed in three cases (3/23, 13%), developing outside of the initial irradiation field. With regard to recurrence, significant correlation to radiation fields was evident, while it was not to radiation doses. Furthermore, germinoma with syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells showed a more significant tendency to recur than pure germinoma. The radiotherapy of germinomas is discussed and the clinical features of germinoma with syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells are presented.
