ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3171/JNS/2008/109/8/0321 | Abstract: | There have been fewer than 60 cases of malignant teratocarcinosarcoma (TCS) described in the literature, usually arising in the nose and paranasal sinuses. The authors report on a patient who presented with neurological symptoms caused by a frontal lobe TCS, and in whom widespread spinal tumor dissemination developed. In rare cases, TCSs can occur with a predominantly cranial and neurological presentation and spread to the spinal canal. | Source Title: | Journal of Neurosurgery | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/129825 | ISSN: | 00223085 | DOI: | 10.3171/JNS/2008/109/8/0321 |
