Testis tumors can arise from several different cells within the testicle. The most common and aggressive type of testis tumor are germ cell tumors. Germ cell tumors may be either seminomas or non-seminomatous tumors . Non-seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testicles primarily present in young men The tumors are identified as pure form (those of one histologic type) and mixed form (more than one histologic type). The most common mixed germ cell tumor is the combination of teratoma, embryonal carcinoma,yolk sac tumor. Yolk sac tumor is the most common germ cell tumor in infants and children, accounting for approximately 65% of germ cells tumors but it is rare adult men. A case of testicular mixed germ cell tumor in a 36-year-old man who presented for with widespread metastatic mass is reported here. Thorax and abdomen computed tomography (CT) scans revealed extensive mass including lateral cervical region, anterior mediastinum and abdomen. A biopsy was performed mass in the lateral cervical region. Suspected clinical diagnosis was lymphoma. Biopsy demonstrated that the mass was mixed germ cell tumor (teratom and yolk sac) of testis©2008, Firat University, Medical Faculty
