中文摘要

兒童顱內生殖細胞瘤(germ cell tumors, GCTs)在西方國家約占所有原發性腦瘤的3%左右,然而在東亞國家如日本、臺灣約占11%-15%,可見此病在東亞獲得的重視度應該較西方高。此病平均好發年紀為10-12歲,男童略多,好發部位為松果體區、上蝶鞍部位及基底神經核部位,常見的臨床症狀與腫瘤位置有密切相關:松果體區的腫瘤常有頭痛、噁心、嘔吐的急性顱內壓增高症狀;上蝶鞍部位的腫瘤常伴隨有中樞性尿崩症或腦下垂體功能低下;基底神經核部位的腫瘤則常造成肢體運動障礙。診斷此病常常需要配合臨床症狀、腫瘤標記物及影像學檢查,很多時候甚至需要手術切片來獲得證實。治療方式及預後因組織學型態不同而有差異,胚細胞瘤(germinoma)對於放射線很敏感,單純使用放射線治療即可達到五年存活率>90%。非胚細胞瘤生殖細胞瘤(NGGCTs)則通常需要配合手術、化學治療加上放射線治療,五年存活率約為50%-71%。
