  • a 4.2 mm3 was chosen to reflect an increase in growth of 2 mm in the AP, TV, and SI dimensions using an ellipsoid volume formula because a 2-mm increase would be an appreciable measurement on MR imaging.

  • b Of the 3 patients with symptomatic SGCTs in this age group, only 2/3 MRIs were considered diagnostic.

  • c Only 1 lesion was available for measurement.
