AB  - Germ  cell  tumors  (GCTs),  a  heterogeneous  group  of  tumors  that  originate  from  the  primordial  germ  cell  (PGC),  can  present  across  a  wide  range  of  ages,  sites,  histologies,  and  clinical  behaviors.  GCTs  can  be  malignant  (eg,  yolk  sac  tumors  [YSTs],  embryonal  carcinomas,  choriocarcinomas,  and  seminomas/germinomas)  or  benign  (eg,  teratomas  and  gonadoblastomas).  Most  children  with  malignant  GCTs  have  a  favorable  prognosis  following  treatment  with  surgery  and  platinum-based  chemotherapy;  however,  significant  late  effects  of  treatment  may  result.
