Description
Summary:A case of primary extragonadal yolk sac tumor in the retroperitoneum of a young adult male is reported. The symptoms were melena and weakness for two months. Radiologic studies suggested a retroperitoneal tumor infiltrating the duodenum, artery aorta and vein cava, was found. Partial resection was performed, remaining tumor around the vessels. Microscopic examination disclosed a yolk sac tumor infiltrating the duodenum. The patient was managed unsuccessfully with radiotherapy, but good results were actived with chemotherapy. Few cases like that were reported in the literature.
