Combined adenocarcinoma with yolk sac tumor of the rectum metastasizing as a germ cell neoplasm: Case report
We reported a case of 18 years-old female patient admitted to Mansoura oncology center with severe abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed a distended abdomen with hepatomegaly with no abdominal mass. Computed tomographic (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed markedly enlarged liver with multiple innumerable variable sized hyper-echoic non-enhanced focal lesions. The patient underwent an ultrasound- guided biopsy of the liver that showed metastatic yolk sac tumor. Colonoscopy confirmed a large polypoidal ulcerating mass that was 15 cm from anal verge. Biopsy from the mass revealed conventional colonic adenocarcinoma merg...
