Abstract
Yolk sac tumor is rare in adult. We report a case in a young man aged of 23 years treated by orchiectomy, chemotherapy and retroperitoneal lymphadenec tomy. Diagnosis is based on pathology who shows other cellular contingents. Treatment is based on orchiectomy and chemotherapy is indicated for residu la masses. The prognosis is bad because metastasis is frequent. (C) 2001 Ed itions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
