Scope note: Forma primitiva de carcinoma, muy maligna, que probablemente derive de células germinativas o sea una derivación teratomatosa. Suele presentarse en las gónadas y en raras ocasiones en otras zonas. Es raro en el ovario, pero en el varón representa el 20 por ciento de todos los tumores testiculares.
