Yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are rare aggressive tumors, arising most commonly in the gonads and occurring mainly in young adults. We herein report a case of an extragonadal YST with hepatoid differentiation localized in the brain and lung. A 41-year old man presented to our hospital with a generalized
Yolk sac tumor (YST), also known as an endodermal sinus tumor, is a rare malignant germ cell tumor. Primary retroperitoneal YST (PRYST) is extremely rare and, to the best of our knowledge, has only been described in case reports. The histogenesis of PRYST and the appropriate treatment strategy
We report 28 testicular seminomas with cystic spaces of variable nature, sometimes accompanied by solid and hollow tubular patterns (12 cases). The spaces often suggested reticular or microcystic patterns of yolk sac tumor, and the solid and hollow tubular patterns often added to the diagnostic
Malignant luteinized thecoma is an extremely rare ovarian tumor. The fifth reported case of this tumor presenting in a 13-year-old epileptic child on anticonvulsant therapy with a rapidly enlarging pelvic-abdominal mass is discussed. At laparotomy, bilateral ovarian involvement, massive ascites, and
The first three cases of myxoid leiomyosarcoma occurring in the ovary are reported. Two cases in stage III were found in postmenopausal patients and a further case was found in stage I in a 32-year-old. All masses were large and gelatinous with cystic change, necrosis, and hemorrhage, but both uteri
The computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of 73 histologically proven primary intracranial germ cell tumors were analysed. CT images were available for all 73 patients, and 22 of them were also examined by MRI. The tumors were classified as germinoma, mature
Extragonadal teratoma is the most common congenital tumor. The prognostic significance of the grade of immaturity and the presence of small foci of conventional yolk sac tumor (YST) in fetal and neonatal teratomas have not been determined. We report detailed histologic studies of 22 congenital
