Abstract:
A female patient with ages of 16 hospitalized due to the pain in the right of inferior costal region and the tumor in the posterior peritonium determined by ultrasound and CT scanner. The results of position AFP allowed to diagnose the preoperative germ cell tumor in the posterior peritoneum. The results of microscopy allowed concluding that this was yolk sac tumor. This study suggested that it should test the markers of tumor such as AFT and HCG to diagnose the nature of germ cell tumors. The disease can respond to radiation and chemotherapy.
