These tumors develop in women childbearing age and commonly produce signs symptoms subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral or tumor. Diagnosis can be established by radioactive scan brain, x-ray examinations chest, bio-assay patient's urine cerebrospinal fluid for chorionic gonadotropin.

This communication reports three cases metastatic who been successfully treated, one unsuccessful case man with testicular
