Abstract:
We report an 11-year-old child who presented with an abdominal lump and was diagnosed as having an extragonal primary mesenteric seminoma. Patient was treated with 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin; he is now disease free for 2 years. We discuss and review extragonadal germ cell tumors arising from the mesentery and their management.
