Seven cases of tumors of the endodermal sinus are reviewed. This is a highly malignant germinal tumor, arisen from extraembrionary cell differentiation. It is different both biologically and pathologically from sacrocoxigeal teratoma. There are no survivors in these series. All seven patients have been surgically treated chemotherapy has been used in four, and X-ray therapy in two. It is noteworthy that alpha-phetoprotein is present in patients with this type of tumor. This fact can be used both in diagnosis of the tumor and of its recurrence.
本文回顾了7例内胚窦瘤病例。这是一种高度恶性的生殖细胞肿瘤，起源于胚外细胞分化。它在生物学和病理学上均与骶尾部畸胎瘤不同。该系列病例中无幸存者。所有7例患者均接受了手术治疗，4例使用了化疗，2例使用了X线治疗。值得注意的是，此类肿瘤患者体内存在甲胎蛋白。这一事实可用于该肿瘤的诊断及其复发的诊断。
