- Abstract
5 children with yolk-sac tumor of the testis (= infantile embryonal carcinoma) were admitted to our hospital between 1973 and 1981. Evaluation of serum alpha-fetoprotein concentrations and ultrasonography of the retroperitoneal area proved to be extremely valuable to predict the tumor stage in these children. Therapy consisted of high inguinal orchiec-tomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and cytostatic chemotherapy in 3 children using the T2-protocol. All children are now between 1 ½ and 8 years free of recurrence and metastases. Therapy of this tumor ought to be differentiated according to the individual tumor stage. Most patients with stage-I tumor require only radical orchiectomy for cure. Copyright © 1982 S. Karger AG, Basel
