“…The preoperative value of AFP as a prognostic factor for YST is debated in the literature [7,8]. Prognosis appears to be correlated more with its kinetics than its initial value.…”
We present the case of a large yolk sac tumour of the ovary in a 14-year-old girl with high level of serum alpha-feto-protein (AFP). Multidisciplinary care is important to do appropriate surgical treatment with the aim of fertility preservation.

[5][6] [7][8] [9] Patients usually present with abdominal pain and abdominal mass over a period. In the present study, the patient presented with the same set of complaints.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
