Abstract:
Two patients are reported in whom an initial diagnosis of disseminated non small cell bronchogenic carcinoma was subsequently changed into a final diagnosis of extragonadal germ cell tumour. The clinical importance of the differential diagnosis between these two malignancies is highlighted and the management of extragonadal germ cell tumours is discussed.
