Abstract:
Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare. accounting for approximately 38 of all germ cell tumors. Debate continues over whether these lesions originate from extragonadal site or are metastatic disease from an undetected testis primary tumor. Recently. we experienced a case of extragonadal mixed germ cell tumor in a 26-year-old male who showed complete response by combination chemotherapy with cisplatin. etoposide. and bleomycin(PVpB) and have remained disease tree for about 14 months since diagnosis. Herein we report the case with brief review of the literature.
