Growing Teratoma Syndrome

Abstract BACKGROUND Intracranial Growing teratoma syndrome(iGTS) is a phenomenon in which a tumor with a teratoma component grows during treatment, and its pathological tissue is often a mature teratoma. Here we report a case of iGTS in which the timing of surgery was determined by tumor markers and changes in tumor size on MRI images. CASE-REPORT: 11-year-old boy with a short stature. He developed a headache and we found a pineal gland tumor on MRI. Due to obstructive hydrocephalus, an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and biopsy were performed. The pathological diagnosis was mature teratoma, but AFP was elevated at 104.2 ng/mL. Considering NGGCT, we started chemoradiation immediately. Despite the declining AFP, it gradually increased, at which point we suspected iGTS. Resection was considered, but at some point tumor growth had stopped, so radiation therapy and a second course of ICE therapy preceded the resection. Thereafter, the tumor was completely removed, and a third course of ICE therapy was performed. DISCUSSION The onset mechanism of iGTS has not been elucidated, and its prediction is difficult. Early resection of the tumor is required, but discontinuation of radiation therapy and side effects of chemotherapy also need to be considered. In our case, resection was performed after normalization of AFP and recovery of myelosuppression. The patient followed an uneventful course, but the timing of resection was controversial. CONCLUSION We experienced a case of iGTS in NGGCT, a mixed tumor with mature teratoma. The optimal timing of the resection was discussed and literature was reviewed.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of primary early endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EnDCR) in acute dacryocystitis (AD) and to determine the optimal timing for surgery. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed on consecutive patients who underwent primary early EnDCR (within 1 week) for AD between May 2010 and June 2020 (AD group) and an age- and gender-matched control group of NLDO patients who underwent EnDCR (non-AD group). The primary outcome measures were the surgical outcomes at the final follow-up examination. The secondary outcome measure was the clinical course of AD patients. Subgroup analysis was performed to determine the optimal timing of surgery by comparing the outcomes of very early EnDCR (within 3 days) and those of early EnDCR (between 4 and 7 days). Results: Forty-one patients were included in the AD group and 82 patients in the non-AD group. The anatomical and functional success rates were 87.8% and 82.9% in the AD group, and 91.5% and 84.1% in the non-AD group, which were not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.532 and p = 0.863). In the AD group, the mean times for pain relief and resolution of swelling after surgery were 2.4 and 6.5 days after surgery, respectively. In the subgroup analysis according to the timing of surgery, the time for symptom resolution after diagnosis, the length of hospital stays, and the duration of antibiotic treatments were significantly shorter after very early EnDCR (all ps < 0.05), whereas the surgical outcomes were not different between the two groups (p = 1.000). Conclusions: Primary early EnDCR is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of AD. In particular, very early EnDCR performed within 3 days leads to faster recovery and shortens the course of antibiotic treatment.
