Abstract:
The authors present a case of germinoma in corpus callosum extending to the both frontal lobes with cystic change, in a 27-year-old male. Bilaterallity and cystic change simulated a cystic astrocytoma or a butterfly glioblastoma. The interest in this case is due to the unusual location and the nature of the tumor.
