Abstract
Yolk sac tumors (YST), also known as endodermal sinus tumors, are rare and rapidly developing neoplasm presenting in young females. They are second most common germ cell tumor after dysgerminoma. As they present in early age and have rapid malignant potential, fertility preservation is an important concern in such patients. Hereby we report a case of Yolk sac tumor in a 22 yrs. old female, who underwent fertility preserving staging laparotomy followed by 4 cycles of BEP, and is doing well.
