We report a case of pseudoretroconversion in which, clinically and pat
hologically, it appeared that an endodermal sinus tumor retroconverted
to mature teratoma. An 8-month-old white female infant with a sacroco
ccygeal tumor, diagnosed by biopsy as endodermal sinus tumor (yolk sac
tumor), was treated with chemotherapy. The residual tumor after treat
ment was mature teratoma confirmed by imaging and by pathological exam
ination. We present the computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic reso
nance imaging (MRI) findings with pathological correlation.
