Multimodal management of a pediatric cervical yolk sac tumor.

Even though vaginal bleeding is an unusual clinical presentation in infants and young children, thorough evaluation by the pediatric urologist requires the recognition and knowledge of less-common conditions, including malignancy. Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare in children aged <15 years, representing approximately 1% of all cancers. Because of the close collaboration between pediatric oncologists and pediatric urologists, a multidisciplinary approach to the management and treatment of these tumors includes chemotherapy and surgical resection, aiming for fertility preservation when possible. We present a 10-month-old infant with a cervical or uterine germ cell tumor and the challenges found during her treatment.
