AB  - Primary  germ  cell  tumors  (GCTs)  of  the  testis  arising  by  the  malignant  transformation  of  primordial  germ  cells  constitute  95%  of  all  testicular  neoplasms.  Infrequently,  GCTs  arise  from  an  extragonadal  site,  including  the  mediastinum;  retroperitoneum;  and,  very  rarely,  the  pineal  gland.  This  disease  is  notable  for  the  young  age  of  the  affected  patients,  the  totipotent  capacity  for  differentiation  of  the  tumor  cells,  and  its  curability;  approximately  95%  of  newly  diagnosed  patients  are  cured.  Experience  in  the  management  of  GCTs  leads  to  improved  outcome.
