Beschreibung

8vo. (255 x 175 mm), 48 pp., 44 b/w illustrations in the text, original wrappers, in near fine condition. Very rare separately-paginated offprint. It's a very early and important paper on tumors of the pineal body. Joseph Globus (1885-1952) was Mount Sinai's first neuropathologist. References: Fields WS: Primary Brain Tumors, p. 87: "Globus and Silbert (1931), who wrote a very early paper on that problem, drew attention to the similarity between pineal tumor cell pattern and the stages of the developing pineal gland."; Russell and Rubinstein's Pathology of tumors of the nervous system, p. 551: "The only CNS germ cell tumor accorded an appellation differing from that extended to its gonadal counterparts ? the testicular seminoma and ovarian dysgerminoma ? this was originally dubbed a form of 'pinealoma' by Krabbe (1923), who held that the lesion was of specialized pineal parenchymal derivation. This misconception seems to have been based largely upon the fancied resemblance of a mosaic cellular architecture characterizing the fetal and neonatal pineal gland to the admixture of large and small cell forms typifying germinomas (Globus and Silbert, 1931). The latter, of course, are today appreciated as distinct populations of neoplastic germinal elements and reactive lymphocytes, respectively." ; Gilles FH et al.: The Developing Human Brain: Growth and Epidemiologic Neuropathology p. 109.
