Abstract

The endodermal sinus tumors are rare and highly malignant germ cell origin tumors occuring in both gonadal and extragonadal tissue. We have experienced a case of endodermal sinus tumor mixed with benign teratoma occuring in the common bile duct. It is a very rare site for endodermal sinus tumor. Serum α-fetoprotein was well correlated with clinical course.
