T h r e e instances of malignant teratomas with positive reaction for alphafetoprotein (AFP) are presented. Sequential evaluations in them revealed that the production rate of AFP closely paralleled the amount of the viable malignant tumor tissue which fluctuated in the course of the diseases. T w o

Primary alpha-fetoprotein secreting ovarian tumors have been detected in pregnancy by markedly elevated midtrimester MSAFP accompanied by sonographically visualized adnexal masses. We present a recurrent mixed germ cell tumor manifesting only as a moderately elevated MSAFP screen. A 23-year-old para
The incidence of endodermal sinus tumor (EST) or yolk sac tumor (YST) elements has been studied in two series of testicular germ-cell neoplasms in adults. One series, consisting of 200 germ-cell neoplasms seen from 1953 through 1968, was studied retrospectively, and the other, consisting of 147 case
