Abstract

Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare malignant germ cell tumor with no appropriate treatment strategy to date. However, patients are treated on a case-to-case basis as per various case reports that have been published. Here, we present a case of 27-year-old female patient who presented to us with chief complaints of severe abdominal pain associated with leucorrhea. She previously had a similar pain episode, which was then evaluated by a multidisciplinary team. She was diagnosed with YST. After that, she underwent 6 cycles of chemotherapy, but there was no improvement. Then the medical oncologist referred her to performed radiotherapy. Then, the radiation oncologist decided to give her curative radiotherapy of 3D-CRT. After completing her sessions, she felt better and clinically improving. After that, she was discharged and scheduled a follow-up visit for first evaluation. At her follow-up visit, she was feeling well, and we decided to have an abdominal MRI.
