Yolk Sac Tumour of the Cryptorchid Testis, with an Unusual Presentation — Diagnosed by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology
Yolk sac tumour is the most common germ cell tumour in infants and children, with a majority of them arising in the gonads. Rare cases of extra – gonadal germ cell tumours have been described in the literature. We are presenting here, a case of a yolk sac tumour of the cryptorchid testis in a 2...

| description | Yolk sac tumour is the most common germ cell tumour in infants
and children, with a majority of them arising in the gonads. Rare
cases of extra – gonadal germ cell tumours have been described
in the literature. We are presenting here, a case of a yolk sac
tumour of the cryptorchid testis in a 2 year old child, who initially
presented with a mass in the left lobe of the liver, with huge
ascites and which posed diagnostic difficulties. The mass was
diagnosed as hepatoblastoma on Computed Tomography (CT).
Subsequently, CT guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
of the liver mass showed the features of a yolk sac tumour. The
raised serum Alfa Foetoprotein (AFP) levels corroborated with
the cytological diagnosis. |
