Andrology, University College London, London, GBR.
A rare case of a pure yolk sac testicular tumour presenting in an adult with learning difficulties is presented. Pure yolk sac tumours are much more common in children, but when they do occur in adults, onset can be both insidious and aggressive. The best practice for identification involves the precise use of ultrasound, blood tests for tumour markers and FDG-PET/CT imaging for staging.

Primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the uterus is a particular tumour that bears high similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma histologically, and may easily be misdiagnosed because it is rare if you don' t remember it. In this report, we describe two cases of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing HAC of the uterus. Case 1 was a 69-year-old postmenopausal woman who was presented to the hospital for a medical examination.

Yolk sac tumors (YSTs) of the ovary are the second most common primitive germ cell tumors accounting for 20% of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. They are derived from primitive germ cells of the embryonic gonad and can undergo germinomatous or embryonic differentiation. They commonly affect women in the reproductive age group but have a favorable prognosis due to chemosensitivity.

- The study investigates the occurrence of rete hyperplasia and hyaline globules in germ cell tumors, with a focus on their potential to mimic yolk sac tumors, noting a significant misdiagnosis risk over the years.
- Out of 348 evaluated orchiectomies, 30% showed rete hyperplasia and/or hyaline globules, often without any yolk sac tumor component, suggesting a complexity in tumor classifications.
- The findings highlight the importance of accurately identifying these histological features, as they may indicate underlying testicular obstruction due to the tumor, which is crucial for proper treatment decisions.
