Experience with 200 cases of testicular tumors seen over a period of I0 years has been presented. Modes of presentation, response to treatment, and patterns of failure have been analyzed in 186 cases of germ cell tumors. The role of radiation in the overall management of seminomas is reaffirmed, and
## Background: Yolk sac tumor (yst), embryonal carcinoma (ec), choriocarcinoma (cc), and combined germ cell tumors (cgcts) of the mediastinum are uncommon neoplasms. only sporadic cases have been documented in the literature; therefore, the clinical behavior of these tumors when located in the medi
## Background: Primary seminomas of the mediastinum are unusual neoplasms that are morphologically indistinguishable from their gonadal counterparts but may have different biologic behavior because they arise at this particular location. ## Methods: The clinical and pathologic features in 120 cas
