This article covers '''germ cell tumours''', often abbreviated [[GCT]], which classically arise in the gonads ([[ovary]], [[testis]]). They are also found in the midline and make appearances in [[neuropathology]] (e.g. [[pineal gland]]) and in the [[mediastinum]]. | This article covers '''germ cell tumours''', often abbreviated [[GCT]], which classically arise in the gonads ([[ovary]], [[testis]]).
