ABSTRACT: Yolk sac tumor (YST), which
most frequently arises in the gonads as a type of germ cell tumor, is rare in
children but is highly malignant. The common age group affected by yolk sac tumours is 11 to 24 years. In this study, we
described a rare case of YST in terms of the clinical manifestation, imaging,
and histopathology findings, diagnosis and treatment in a 12-year-old
girl who was followed since birth for Fanconi-like syndrome. This is a rare
clinical association that also limits chemotherapy.
