Germinoma is a term that if unqualified, usually refers to a tumor of the brain but can also refer to similar tumors of other regions particularly the ovary and testis.
- dysgerminoma of the ovary
- seminoma of the testis
- CNS germinoma: see WHO classification of CNS tumors
All these tumors share similar histology but obviously have very different imaging manifestations and clinical presentation. They are therefore discussed separately.
