From 1957 to 1992, 18 cases of primary mediastinal germ cell tumours were referred to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute (PMCI). Six were seminomas, six were mixed germ cell tumours, two were embryonal cell carcinomas, three were teratocarcinomas and one was labelled an βanaplastic germ cell tumou

## 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
In a study of 20 patients diagnosed with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors between 1961 and 1993, clinical and pathologic findings were evaluated. Of the 20 patients, seven (35%) had dysgerminoma, two (10%) endodermal sinus tumor, three (15%) malignant teratoma, one (5%) malignant struma ovarii, on
Synchronous bilateral primary germ cell tumors of the testis are exceedingly rare. The most common synchronous testicular tumors are seminomas, followed by embryonal carcinomas, teratocarcinomas, and choriocarcinomas. In a series of 385 patients we found nine with bilateral primary germ cell tumors
