Mixed germ cell tumours of testis represent a comparatively rare category of testicular tumour where different types of both seminomatous and non-seminomatous tumours can be present in varied proportions. We report two cases of mixed germ cell tumours, one consisting of seminoma, embryonal carcinoma and post-pubertal teratoma in the testis of a 22-year-old male and second consisting of a yolk sac tumour and immature teratoma in the testis of a 19-year-old male. We report theses case due to the rare combination and for documentation

Central nervous system germ cell tumours are mysterious tumours, which are common in young male adults in eastern Asia, and include germinoma, mature and immature teratoma, teratoma with malignant transformation, yolk sac tumour, embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, and mixed tumours of these components. The aetiological mechanism why they mostly develop in the pineal and neurohypophyseal region is still unknown. Their treatment is also a challenge; surgery is demanding, and sometimes biopsy would be preferred. Radiotherapy is effective, but its dose and field would be better reduced for young adults and children. Chemotherapy is effective but not enough for especially non-germinomatous tumours. This chapter presents a comprehensive discussion about those challenging diseases.

Background: Ovarian cysts, which present as neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, are the most common gynecological cause of hospital admissions. This study was conducted to know the spectrum of ovarian tumors.Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among all the ovarian specimens sent for histopathological examination.Results: Forty two cases were Surface epithelial tumours and 49 cases were germ cell tumour. Among Surface epithelial tumours, 34 (80.95%) were benign neoplasm, 2(4.76%) were borderline and 6 including one Krukenberg tumour (14.29%) were malignant neoplasm. Among all Germ cell tumours, 45 (91.84%) were Mature cystic teratoma, 1 (4.08%) was Immature cystic teratoma and 2 (4.08%) were Dysgerminoma. Conclusion: Incidence of Surface epithelial tumours and germ cell tumours were found to be almost equal with mild predominance of Germ cell tumour.

A 29-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with haematuria and flank pain. Ten months agopreviously, he had undergone orchidectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for a testicular mixed germ cell tumour. Cystoscopy revealed a large bladder wall mass. The final diagnosis of yolk sac tumour was established after transurethral resection of the lesion. The patient was treated with salvage chemotherapy and placed on short-interval biochemical and radiological surveillance to assess treatment response.
