Extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGGCTs) usually are not coexistent with a gonadal tumor, hence in a way, are primary and are rare. The origin of primary EGGCT is still a matter of debate. Herewith, we report a patient with primary intrarenal yolk sac tumor in a 43-year-old man. The purpose of this report is to add a rare tumor to the differential diagnosis of renal neoplasms.
