This is the eighth case report of an endodermal sinus tumor of the mediastinum (first case studied by electron microscopy). The ultrastructure of the tumor was found to mimic that of the normal yolk sac and was also similar to that of three previously reported cases of endodermal sinus tumor of the ovary, thus confirming the correctness of Teilum's original interpretation of the tumor as arising in germ cells and differentiating towards extraembryonic structures.
这是纵隔内胚窦瘤的第八例病例报告（首例进行电子显微镜研究的病例）。发现该肿瘤的超微结构与正常卵黄囊的超微结构相似，也与先前报道的三例卵巢内胚窦瘤病例的超微结构相似，从而证实了泰伦最初将该肿瘤解释为起源于生殖细胞并向胚外结构分化的正确性。
