Abstract
Yolk sac tumors are uncommon and demonstrate rapidity in growth in young women. They are the second most common germ cell tumor following dysgerminomas. They are either pure or are associated with another form of germ cell tumor and can be highly polymorphic. Preservation of fertility is an important consideration in young patients. Chemotherapy and surgery are mainstays of treatment if patients present early. Prognosis is poor for patients who present late.
