“…All eight cases involved men, in contrast to germinomas of the medulla oblongata, 68% of which have been reported in women and 9% in men with Klinefelter’s syndrome. [ 13 ] The age of onset of primary midbrain germinoma is 25.6 years, particularly in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) generation, and therefore, its onset occurred at a slightly older age than the average for all intracranial germinomas (16.1 years). [ 10 ] Five of the eight cases have been reported in Japan, which indicates a racial predisposition in its incidence.…”
