✓ The case is presented of a 15-year-old boy with a mixed nongerminomatous germ-cell tumor of the pineal region associated with elevated cerebrospinal fluid and serum levels of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin. Treatment consisted of initial subtotal resection followed by radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin. The patient is alive without evidence of tumor 37 months after his initial diagnosis. A literature review of intracranial embryonal carcinoma and choriocarcinoma provided the rationale for a combined-modality approach to this otherwise lethal neoplasm.

The authors describe the case of a young girl with suprasellar germinoma. Six weeks after this diagnosis, just prior to initiation of therapy, serum and CSF marker analysis revealed sudden and marked elevation of α-fetoprotein, indicating transformation of her germinoma to a nongerminomatous germ cell tumor. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy per the national treatment approach for the new diagnosis, with subsequent return of her serum and CSF tumor markers to normal levels. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case in the English-language literature of a nongerminomatous germ cell tumor resulting from conversion of germinoma at the original site of presentation.
