title: [Atypical manifestation of extragonadal germinative tumors].
abstract: Three cases of extragonadal germinative tumours, all with atypical manifestations are presented. All patients were treated as for germinative tumours and all of them were without any signs of recurrence 24 to 60 months after treatment. The literature is surveyed. It is concluded that although the histology of the tumour is uncertain, the location of the tumour and the tumour markers are atypical, younger patients where a germinative tumour cannot be excluded should be treated as for a gonadal germinative tumour with a cisplatinum-based combination chemotherapy.
