Title: PRIMARY EMBRYONAL CARCINOMA OF THE ANTERIOR MEDIASTINUM
Abstract: An autopsy case of embryonal carcinoma in the anterior mediastinum developing in a 49‐year‐old male is reported. The tumor showed a great variety of histological patterns, all of which can be regarded as tumor of germ cell origin. Wide‐spread hematogenous metastasis was found especially in the right lung. Specific histological features of Teilum's endodermal sinus tumors may enable their proper identification from thymoma or other types of neoplasm in the mediastinum. The histogenesis of extragonadal germ cell tumors was also discussed. ACTA PATH. JAP. 19: 409˜418, 1969.
