Abstract
- The majority of testicular tumors in children are of germ cell origin and the predominant pathologic type is the yolk sac carcinoma. Initial treatment of radical orchiectomy is not in question. However, because of its presumed less virulent character, confusion remains as to adjunctive treatment for yolk sac carcinoma. Recently we experienced a case of advanced yolk sac carcinoma treated with multiple systemic chemotherapy regimen.
