Germinoma (from. herm lat - a germ) is the disease connected with emergence of new growths from embryonal leaves of a germ or a vitellicle in ovaries (at women) or in testicles (at men). The germinoma shares on:
seminoma (which strikes a seed cord at men),
dysgermoinoma (affects ovaries at women),
teratocarcinoma (malignant tumor of internal generative organs in which to contain nerve knots),
teratoma (benign tumor of internal generative organs).

Also these tumors can affect a nervous system, and at the same time the tumor is in a diencephalon. The germinoma can be localized in a brain epiphysis. Meets at the age of 10-30 years. To diagnostic methods of a germinoma ultrasonography, a computer tomography, an ekhografiya, a X-ray analysis and a laparoscopy enters. In order that it is better to see a tumor enter contrast.
