We report a case of primary extragonadal germ cell tumor of the penis in a 2-year-old child with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein. The patient responded well to a combination of bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin, achieving a complete response within 3 cycles. He was alive and disease-free 8 months after diagnosis. To our knowledge this is the first case of an endodermal sinus tumor of the penis reported in the literature. The possible histogenesis of this tumor at such a rare site is discussed.

D008649 Mesonephroma A rare tumor of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognized: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumor (called also ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR and yolk sac tumor), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesonephromas
