We present a unique case of a sarcoma arising in a testicularnon-seminomatous mixed germ cell tumour with a predominantyolk sac tumour (YST) component. This is the first case reported inwhich a sarcoma is linked to YST of the testis in a patient not havingundergone prior chemotherapy. This finding confirms the ability ofYST to contain sarcoma; it underlies its importance for urologists,oncologists and pathologists to be aware of this phenomenon andto modify treatment strategies appropriately.

Abstract Objective:To determine the prevalence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumour in term of characteristics, management, and 3-year survival rate in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta from 2011 to 2013. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Secondary data were collected from medical record as well as interviewing patients through phone call or home visit. Results: We collected data from 24 subjects. As many as 54.2% of subjects were between 20 to 40 year old, and 58.3% was single. Around 83.3% of the subjects came with chief complaint of abdominal enlargement. Histopathology finding confirmed dysgerminoma in 50% subjects, mixed ovarian germ cell tumour in 25%, endodermal sinus tumour or yolk sac tumour in 16.7%, and immature teratoma in 8.3%. Half of the cases were found in stage I. The primary therapy was conservative surgical staging and adjuvant chemotherapy.In 2 subjects with dysgerminoma, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin, and cyclophosphamide-cisplatin regimen) resulted in a good response. The 3-year survival rate was 83.3% in dysgerminoma, 100% in mixed ovarian germ cell tumour, and 50% in immature teratoma. Conclusion: In malignant ovarian germ cell tumour, conservative surgical staging followed by a complete course of chemotherapy is the treatment of choice with 3-year survival rate exceeding 70%. Keywords: dysgerminoma, non-epithelial ovarian tumour,ovarian germ cell tumour, survival   Abstrak Tujuan : Mengetahui sebaran meliputi karateristik, penatalaksanaan dan kesintasan 3 tahun pasien tumor ganas sel germinal ovarium di RSCM tahun 2011 – 2013. Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan studi potong lintang dengan mengambil data sekunder dari rekam medis dan mewawancarai pasien atau keluarga pasien via telepon atau kunjugan rumah. Hasil : Pada penelitian ini, dari 24 subjek penelitian, 54,2% ditemukan pada usia 20-40 tahun dan 58,3% subjek belum menikah. Sebanyak 83,3% datang dengan keluhan perut membesar. Secara histopatologi didapatkan jenis disgeminoma, tumor sel germinal campuran, sinus endodermal (yolk sac) dan teratoma imatur dengan proporsi masing-masing 50%, 25%, 16,7% dan 8,3%, sebagian besar kasus (50%) ditemukan pada stadium I. Conservative surgical staging dan kemoterapi adjuvan tatalaksana pilihan. Terdapat 2 subjek jenis disgerminoma yang diberikan dengan kemoterapi neoadjuvan (regimenbleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin dan cyclophosmide-cisplatin) memberikan respon yang baik. Kesintasan ≥ 3 tahun pada jenis disgerminoma mencapai 83,3%, pada tumor sel germinal campuran 100% dan pada teratoma imatur mencapai 50%. Kesimpulan : Pada tumor ganas sel germinal ovarium conservative surgical staging diikuti kemoterapi lengkap merupakan pilihan terapi dengan kesintasan ≥ 3 tahun mencapai > 70%. Kata kunci : disgerminoma,kesintasan, tumor ovarium non epithelial, tumor sel germinal ovarium.

We present a case of 16-year-old male, who was referred from private centre for dyspnoea, fatigue, and orthopnea. The chest radiograph revealed complete opacification of left chest which was confirmed by computed tomography as a large left mediastinal mass measuring 14 × 15 × 18 cm. The diagnostic needle core biopsy revealed mixed germ cell tumour with possible combination of embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac, and teratoma. After 4 cycles of neoadjuvant BEP regime, there was initial response of tumour markers but not tumour bulk. Instead of classic median sternotomy or clamshell incision, posterolateral approach with piecemeal manner was chosen. Histology confirmed mixed germ cell tumour with residual teratomatous component without yolk sac or embryonal carcinoma component. Weighing 3.5 kg, it is one of the largest mediastinal germ cell tumours ever reported. We describe this rare and gigantic intrathoracic tumour and discuss the spectrum of surgical approach and treatment of this exceptional tumour.
