Abstract

Adult pure yolk sac tumors are rarely seen. Until now limited number of the cases has been reported in the literature, and it was stated that they had bad prognosis. While pure yolk sac tumors are the most commonly seen testis tumor in childhood, they are observed as the component of mixed germ cell testis tumors in adults, and exhibit more different behaviour than the childhood tumors. In this report, a 22-year-old patient having the complaint of left testicular swelling for about 1.5 years and whose pathology was reported as pure yolk sac tumor after the inguinal orchiectomy has been presented.

Özet

Erişkin pür yolk sak tümörleri çok nadir olarak görülmektedir. Şimdiye kadar literatürde sınırlı sayıda vaka bildirilmiş ve kötü prognoza sahip oldukları belirtilmiştir. Pür yolk sak tümörleri çocukluk çağında en sık görülen testis tümörü iken, erişkinde çoğunlukla mikst germ hücreli testis tümörlerinin bir komponenti olarak izlenmekte ve çocukluk çağı tümörlerine göre daha farklı davranış sergilemektedirler. Bu yazıda, 1.5 yıldır devam eden sol testiküler şişlik şikayeti nedeniyle başvuran ve inguinal orşiektomi sonrası patolojisi pür yolk sak tümörü olarak rapor edilen 22 yaşındaki hasta sunulmuştur.
