Abstract EN
The appearance of a primary germinoma in the central nervous system but not on or near the midline or within the brain is exceptional.
It may occur at any age; however, it is rare in patients over 50 years old.
Only a handful of cases of germinomas located in the cerebellopontine angle were presented, but to our knowledge, there has been no description of an isolated germinoma in the internal auditory canal.
We report a case of germinoma in the internal auditory canal in a 51-year-old man simulating the clinical and radiological characteristics of a vestibular schwannoma.
