“…The indication for radiation therapy in clinical stage A disease is also open to debate. The report of Matsumoto et al [13] indicates that all 19 boys treated by orchiectomy and retroperitoneal radiation (2,000-3,000 rads in 4-7 weeks) were alive and well 1-5 years later. Sabio et al [8], in a collective review, reported an 83% one-year disease-free survival rate following orchiectomy and retroperitoneal radiotherapy in 30 patients with clinical stage A disease.…”

Primary testicular neoplasms are not common childhood tumors, comprising about 1% of all childhood malignancies [1]. Embryonal carcinoma is the most common childhood testicular neoplasm. It has been described in a variety of histologic variants as embryonal carcinoma of infancy, orchioblastoma, yolk sac tumor, endodermal sinus tumor, Teilum tumor, and adenocarcinoma with clear cells. Because of the rarity of the tumor, there is no general concensus concerning the management. Recently we encountered two children with embryonal carcinoma of testis who had rather unusual clinical courses. We believe that a report of these cases may contribute to further design of the most suitable therapeutic regimen.

“…The effectiveness of irradiation in childhood yolk sac tumors has been judged differently by various authors. Some apply irradiation to the retroperi toneal lymph nodes as sole therapy [21], or as part of a treatment regimen [32,57], while others doubt its effec tiveness for these tumors altogether [58]. In all, 114 chil dren with yolk sac tumors have undergone irradiation.…”
