Abstract

Yolk sac tumor (YST), embryonal carcinoma (EC), choriocarcinoma (CC), and combined germ cell tumors (CGCTs) of the mediastinum are uncommon neoplasms. Only sporadic cases have been documented in the literature; therefore, the clinical behavior of these tumors when located in the mediastinum remains relatively unknown.
