Scope note: Tumor infrecuente y agresivo que tiene su origen en las células germinales que reproducen las estructuras extraembrionarias del embrión en su inicio. Es el tumor maligno de células germinales más común en niños. Se caracteriza por poseer un patrón laberíntico glandular de células epiteliales planas y procesos papilares redondos con un capilar central (cuerpo de Schiller-Duval). En raras ocasiones es bilateral. Antes de que se utilizara la quimioterapia de combinación, el tumor era casi invariablemente mortal.

Scope note: An unusual and aggressive tumor of germ-cell origin that reproduces the extraembryonic structures of the early embryo. It is the most common malignant germ cell tumor found in children. It is characterized by a labyrinthine glandular pattern of flat epithelial cells and rounded papillary processes with a central capillary (Schiller-Duval body). The tumor is rarely bilateral. Before the use of combination chemotherapy, the tumor was almost invariably fatal. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1189)
