BACKGROUND: Yolk sac tumour diagnosis should be considered for young age patients admitted to the hospital with non-specific complaints of widespread disease. Correct diagnosis and carefully planned treatment is the key to a successful outcome.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: We present a rare case of a widespread yolk sack tumour of a uterine broad ligament. Our team directed a special attention towards the patient's young age, advanced disease, and fertility sparing strategy of treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Stage IV yolk sac tumours of extragonadal origin are rarely reported in the literature. Hence, diagnosis and treatment often pose a challenge for emergency care unit doctors, gynaecologists, and oncologists. However, it can be a potentially curable disease. Moreover, patients' fertility can also be preserved. We believe that further analysis of similar cases is necessary to study outcomes and evaluate patients' responses to a sequence of medical decisions taken for this specific case.
