Abstract:
Retroperitoneal malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and of uncertain origin. Almost all retroperitoneal GCTs with seminomatous histology have been reported in male patients. Pediatric hypertension in a girl secondary to a retroperitoneal mixed GCT (dysgerminoma plus mature monodermal teratoma) has not been reported previously in the literature. We present the first case of an 11-year-old girl with a retroperitoneal mixed GCT presenting with hypertension.
