Abstract

Paediatric germ cell tumours (GCT) are rare tumours and are unique because of varied clinical presentation and locations. Yolk sac tumour is the predominant malignant histology and a serum marker; alpha fetoprotein is used to see treatment response and recurrent disease. It is extremely rare to find a retroperitoneal GCT with tumour thrombus extending up to the cavo-atrial region with involvement of the hepatic veins. We report a case of retroperitoneal yolk sac tumour (RPYST) with extension to the liver and right adrenal gland along with tumour thrombus in the inferior vena cava and in the right and middle hepatic veins. The child was operated after satisfactory response to chemotherapy. Excision of the tumour along with the right adrenal gland and around 5 cm of retro-hepatic caval resection was done. Inferior vena cava resection was tolerated without reconstruction. Currently child is disease-free and symptom-free at 22 months of follow-up with normal serum marker.
