AB  - Extragonadal germ cell tumors are germ cell tumors with 
no evidence of a primary tumor within the gonads, most 
often located in the mediastinum or retroperitoneum. We 
present an extragonadal yolk sac tumor that presented as an adrenal carcinoma and required left adrenalectomy, 
nephrectomy, and significant IVC thrombectomy. This 
case, to our knowledge, is the first documented case of 
extragonadal yolk sac tumor originating from the adrenal 
gland.
