Abstract
Primary intracranial teratomas are nongerminomatous germ cell tumors. They are infrequent lesions along the craniospinal axis, with their malignant transformation extremely uncommon. A 50-year-old-male patient presented with one episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), without any neurological deficit. Radiological imaging revealed a large lesion in the pineal region. He underwent gross total excision of the lesion. Histopathological examination was representative of teratoma with adenocarcinomatous malignant transformation. He underwent adjuvant radiation therapy and had an excellent clinical outcome. The present case highlights the rarity of malignant transformation of the primary intracranial mature teratoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extragonadal germ cell tumours (EGGCTs) originated in Shoulder are extremely rare, with 1 case described in the literature. We report a case of a patient with a primary Right Shoulder mixed EGGCT. CASE PRESENTATION A 36-year-old male patient was hospitalized for 6 months due to progressive right shoulder swelling accompanied by pain. Subsequently, the right shoulder tumor was removed entirely. Gross pathological examination showed that the size of the tumor mass was about 14 × 10 × 6 cm.Mutations were observed in ENPEP (4q25), ZCCHC11, RREB1 (6p24.3), CKAP4 (12q23.3), and other genes were detected by whole exome sequencing. Histology revealed a mixed EGGCT of the Right Shoulder with immature teratoma and yolk sac tumour. The patient went through 6 cycles of chemotherapy. After 7 months of follow-up, the patient is recurrence. CONCLUSION The primary MEGCT of the shoulder is an extremely rare condition. However, the recurrence and metastasis rates are high. Therefore, further research is necessary to determine this rare disease's genetic and clinical characteristics to develop an effective treatment plan.

Abstract
A previously healthy man in his late 20s was diagnosed with a primary undifferentiated non- metastatic tumor of the left arm. After a biopsy, a clear pathological diagnosis could not be established. The tumor had positive immunohistological markers for both an extragonadal germ cell tumor and a high-grade sarcoma. Given the presumed germ cell etiology, he was started on empiric chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatin. After a few cycles, the tumor showed dramatic response. However, due to poor patient follow- up, it progressed to massive size with severe compromise of the joint and critical neurovascular structures, which led to the decision for limb amputation. Post-surgical checkups showed no recurrence of the primary tumor or metastasis. This is the first report in the literature showing a tumor with these histological characteristics that responded to platinum-based therapy. It provides evidence for the need of more specific markers for the pathological evaluation of undifferentiated neoplasms.

Abstract
Extragonadal germ cell tumours are rare; to the best of our knowledge, a location in the soft tissue of the right scapular region has never been previously reported in the literature. We report a case of a 9-years-old girl who presented with swelling over the right scapular region, treated by a combination of surgery and cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Immunohistochemistry and serum tumour markers concluded it to be an extragonadal mixed germ cell tumour. Our patient had a complete response up to 2 years of follow-up. This case is being reported here due to a very rare site of presentation with a diagnostic dilemma. A multidisciplinary, combining systemic chemotherapy and surgery is the most appropriate treatment strategy for extragonadal germ cell tumours, to ensure both local and systemic control. Keywords germ cell tumor; immunohistochemistry; tumor markers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Abscess or fistula of the anal region is an uncommon presentation of malignancy. Under the assumption of a benign condition, diagnostics is often delayed, resulting in advanced tumour stages at first diagnosis. Due to the case rarity, treatment guidelines for cancers of anorectal region masquerading as abscess or fistula are missing. METHODS We analysed all patients presenting with an abscess or fistula of the anal region in our department between January 2004 and August 2020. The malignancies were included to our study to acquire data on clinical presentation, treatment and outcome. Furthermore, a systematic review to present adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas associated to an abscess or fistula was performed. RESULTS 0.5% of the patients treated for an abscess or fistula of the anal region met the selection criteria. Mean time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis of malignancy was 100 days. Histology revealed adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma each in two patients. All patients had locally advanced tumours without distant metastases, in two cases with regional lymph-node metastases. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation was applied in two patients. All patients underwent abdomino-perineal resection of the rectum. The overall outcome reveals a recurrence-free survival of 4.5 and 3 years for two patients. Further two patients died within 5 months after the primary resection. CONCLUSION Advanced carcinomas of the anorectal region may masquerade as abscess or fistula, cause diagnostic problems and delay oncologic treatment. However, even in these very advanced situations, surgical therapy with curative intent should be attempted.

Abstract
Teratomas are a subtype of germ cell tumors composed of a variety of somatic tissues derived from more than one of the three germinal layers (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm). They can be classified as mature tumors and immature tumors. Teratomas most commonly arise at the sacrococcygeal region and the gonads. The occurrence of a teratoma outside the common gonadal and midline locations is exceptional. This review article lists the reported primary and metastatic malignant teratomas in extragonadal locations and discusses the possible explanation for the atypical location, their treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
Extragonadal teratomas in adults are an extremely rare entity. Teratomas may be mature or immature and are characterized by their midline presentation. We are presenting here a case report of immature teratoma of the palm in a 35-year-old female. The patient developed a recurrent swelling of the palm from which a wedge biopsy was taken and sent for histopathological examination. A diagnosis of "immature teratoma, grade 2" was made, whose margins were compromised. Later on ultrasonography (USG) abdomen and pelvis and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no significant findings ruling out the possibility of an occult primary. MRI palm showed a well-defined cystic lesion with loculations suggestive of teratoma. Re-exploration was advised to achieve free margins.

Abstract
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) localized extragonadally are rare, with only 14 reported cases of a yolk sac tumor in the endometrium. Here we report a case of mixed endometrium GCTs in a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with abnormal vaginal bleeding. An ultrasound examination showed an oval-shaped mass in the patient’s uterine cavity. Biochemical examination revealed elevated serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) at 359 ng/mL, whereas the tumor markers CA-125, CA-199, and CEA were all within normal range. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed;. a histological examination revealed that the malignant components contained a yolk sac tumor, embryonal carcinoma, and focal immature teratoma. Immunohistochemical staining showed that AFPs were diffusively distributed in both the yolk sac tumor and embryonal carcinoma. The stem cell marker OCT3/4 was positive in the embryonal carcinoma component and that the pan-cytokeratin AE1/AE3 staining was positive in glandular areas. GFAPs (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Proteins) were positive in neuroectodermal tubules; the Ki-67 protein was positive in 90% of the tumor cells, whereas CD117 and placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) were negative. The cumulative evidence indicated mixed GCTs of endometrium as the final histopathological diagnosis. The patient received three courses of adjunct chemotherapy that provided good therapeutic efficacy as evidenced by the decreased serum AFP level. Our report on this rare case of mixed GCTs of the endometrium, supported by associated histological patterns and immunophenotypes and successful adjunct chemotherapy after surgery, could provide insight on future treatment of this rare but lethal disease.

Abstract
Background Germ cell tumors are tumors composed of tissues derived from more than one of the three germinal layers. They are more common in the testes and ovaries, but can present in many different regions in the midline, including the sacral region, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and brain. Testicular germ cell tumors generally metastasize to the retroperitoneum, lungs, and brain; metastases to soft tissue are very rare. Case presentation Here we describe a case of a single soft-tissue mass in the thigh of a 27-year-old man, with histology showing areas of mature teratoma tissues derived from the ectodermal and mesodermal lineages, and areas of immature teratoma tissue composed of small undifferentiated cells, with primitive neuroectodermal differentiation foci forming neuroepithelial elements – thus classified as immature teratoma. The patient had no other clinical or radiological evidence of involvement, besides the lymph nodes. Conclusion The case presented suggests a rare and unexpected primary immature teratoma of the thigh.

Abstract
We present a case of rare primary yolk sac tumour of the urinary bladder in adulthood. A 31-year-old female patient presented with a history of chronic ketamine abuse, which has not previously been shown to be associated with malignancy development. The final diagnosis was established only after radical cystectomy. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed paraaortic lymph node metastasis. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy. A review of the literature revealed that surgical excision and cisplatin-based chemotherapy remain to be the standard of care for extragonadal yolk sac tumours.
