Successful treatment of a pineal endodermal sinus tumor. Case report.

Abstract
A patient with a pineal endodermal sinus tumor is presented who was successfully treated by a combination of surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and craniospinal irradiation. Two years after diagnosis, he is free of any disease. A review of the literature shows that such an outcome is very unusual. A multidisciplinary treatment is recommended for this rare tumor, using chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment.
