Author(s): Sachet Nervi*
Extragonadal germ cell tumours known as primary yolk sac tumours are frequently diagnosed in adolescents
and young adults. Men are more likely to have them. Germ cell tumours are categorised as seminomas and non
seminomatous tumours based on their histological features. A mediastinum Extragonadal yolk sac tumour is the
least common type of NSGC. The clinical signs and symptoms are vague and can mimic those of other chronic
illnesses like various cancers or tuberculosis, including chest pain, vena cava superior syndrome, fever, weight
loss, and chronic cough. The results of immunohistochemistry for pan-cytokeratin and alpha-fetoprotein were

and symptoms, anatomical locations, and characteristics. But the metastatic brain process produced histology
results that were c.. View More»
