  • Title: [Extragonadal germinal tumor].
    Author: Vesga Molina F, Llarena Ibarguren R, Lecumberri Castaños D, Pertusa Peña C.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1997 May; 50(4):407-9. PubMed ID: 9313054.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Extragondal germ cell tumors are rare and have a high affinity for the midline structures. Herein we describe a young, male patient with a retroperitoneal primary tumor. METHODS/RESULTS: The unorthodox form of presentation of germ cell tumors corroborates their embryologic gonadal origin which is distant from the site of presentation. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic algorithm, chemotherapeutic and surgical treatment guidelines utilized in the management of primary gonadal germ cell tumors with retroperitoneal involvement remain applicable in this rare form of presentation.
