title: An endodermal sinus tumor of the head and neck region.
abstract: A 2-year-old patient with a recurrent endodermal sinus tumor of the nasopharynx is presented. After the first attempt to surgically excise the tumor it recurred, causing upper airway obstruction within 2 months. Combined treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy resulted in a disease-free survival of four years.
