We present a unique case of a sarcoma arising in a testicularnon-seminomatous mixed germ cell tumour with a predominantyolk sac tumour (YST) component. This is the first case reported inwhich a sarcoma is linked to YST of the testis in a patient not havingundergone prior chemotherapy. This finding confirms the ability ofYST to contain sarcoma; it underlies its importance for urologists,oncologists and pathologists to be aware of this phenomenon andto modify treatment strategies appropriately.
