Abstract: A case of primary extragonadal yolk sac tumor occurring in the retroperitoneum of a young adult male was studied. The chemotherapy of this tumor has not previously been described for cases of extragonadal origin. A combination of cyclophosphamide, vinblastine, bleomycin, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum, actinomycin-D, and chlorambucil was used. A partial response and dramatic prolongation of survival was achieved, compared with previously reported cases.
