Abstract
An extragonadal location of a yolk sac tumour is rare and may display normal levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein.We report a case of a 34-year-old woman with a vulvovaginal tumour initially thought to be an undifferentiated carcinoma of the vulva. However, a new histological and immunohistochemical assessment and subsequent determination of serum AFP confirmed the diagnosis of yolk sac tumour.Vulvar yolk sac tumor is rare with only 16 cases described in the literature. However, an accurate differential diagnosis should be made in order to indicate the correct treatment.
