Résumé

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