A rare endodermal sinus tumor (yolk sac tumor) in a child

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Neuro-oncology
  • Germ Cell Tumors

Background:

  • Endodermal sinus tumors (Yolk Sac Tumors) are rare malignant germ cell tumors.
  • They typically originate from gonads but can occur extragonadally.
  • Pure primary endodermal sinus tumors of the cerebellum are exceptionally rare with poor prognoses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of primary endodermal sinus tumor in the cerebellar hemisphere of a pediatric patient.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and clinical presentation of intracranial yolk sac tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 3-year-old male presenting with neurological symptoms.
  • Diagnostic workup included brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Pathological examination confirmed endodermal sinus tumor (yolk sac tumor) post-resection.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with headache, vomiting, and gait disturbance.
  • MRI revealed an abnormal mass in the left cerebellar hemisphere, initially suspected as medulloblastoma.
  • Final pathology confirmed endodermal sinus tumor; the patient experienced recurrence and succumbed to the disease six months post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Intracranial endodermal sinus tumors are rare and present with non-specific symptoms.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for managing these aggressive tumors.
  • This case underscores the challenges in diagnosing and treating pediatric cerebellar yolk sac tumors, emphasizing their poor prognosis.
