Despite diagnostic challenges, she was finally diagnosed with suprasellar germinoma after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, followed by radiotherapy and medical interventions to complement the surgery. Conclusion: It is important to be able to diagnose the patientchr('39')s problem at an early stage based on their history, hormonal profile, laboratory results and radiological view.
