Laparoscopic Trachelectomy for Cervix Yolk Sac Tumor in 11-Month-Old Girl: The Youngest Case.

Background: Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a malignant entity that often occurs in girls less than 3 years of age and is the most frequent type of primary extragonadal germ cell tumor.

Case: We describe the case of an 11-month-old girl who was referred to our center for vaginal bleeding with evidence of a uterine mass on ultrasonography. Preoperative investigations confirmed YST of the uterine cervix without metastasis. After 4 cycles of systemic chemotherapy, the patient was treated with laparoscopic trachelectomy (fertility-sparing surgery) without perioperative complications.

Summary And Conclusion: After 12 months of follow-up, no residual mass was seen. The laparoscopic technique for trachelectomy for uterine cervix YST seems to be feasible and safe in children under 1 year of age.
