Computed tomography (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CT<\/jats:styled-content>) revealed a 50 mm mass with irregular contrast enhancement in the anterior mediastinum. \u03b1\u2010fetoprotein (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AFP<\/jats:styled-content>) level was elevated to 1188\u2009ng\/mL. A germ cell tumor was diagnosed, mostly comprising of a yolk sac tumor (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content>). Two courses of chemotherapy with cisplatin (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CDDP<\/jats:styled-content>) and etoposide (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VP16<\/jats:styled-content>) were administered and surgical tumor resection was then performed. The final diagnosis was <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content>. <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CDDP<\/jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VP16<\/jats:styled-content> were continued postoperatively; however, because the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AFP<\/jats:styled-content> level increased about six months after surgery, the chemotherapy regimen was altered to bleomycin and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CPT<\/jats:styled-content>\u201011. As the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AFP<\/jats:styled-content> again increased and a <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CT<\/jats:styled-content> scan revealed tumor re\u2010enlargement, recurrent <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content> was diagnosed and radiotherapy was administered. The patient received a total of 60 Gy (2 Gy per fraction). The tumor started to shrink during radiotherapy and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AFP<\/jats:styled-content> levels decreased. By one month post\u2010radiotherapy, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AFP<\/jats:styled-content> levels had normalized and the tumor had disappeared. As of six years after radiotherapy, the patient remains alive without recurrence. Mediastinal <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YSTs<\/jats:styled-content> are rare, and treatment usually includes surgery and preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin\u2010based regimens. Successful treatment with radiotherapy has occasionally been reported. Our patient showed recurrence of a <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content> after surgery and chemotherapy, but achieved long\u2010term survival after radiotherapy. Few patients with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content> have undergone radiotherapy, but this approach was successful in our patient. In cases of postoperative recurrent <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">YST<\/jats:styled-content> resistant to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, together with salvage surgery, may offer a valuable option.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1759-7714.12302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,20]],"date-time":"2015-08-20T10:43:52Z","timestamp":1440067432000},"page":"358-362","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Successful radiotherapy in postoperative recurrence of a primary mediastinal yolk sac tumor: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Masakuni","family":"Sakaguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Nihon University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshiya","family":"Maebayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Nihon University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takuya","family":"Aizawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Nihon University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoya","family":"Ishibashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Nihon University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shoko","family":"Fukushima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Nihon University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsutomu","family":"Saito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sonodakai Radiation Oncology Clinic  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(195911\/12)12:6<1092::AID-CNCR2820120606>3.0.CO;2-V"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1699-0463.1967.tb01290.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2010.12.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(96)90264-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00292-014-1900-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(10)63500-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(10)66116-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"826","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)38688-X","article-title":"Mediastinal germ cell tumors in childhood.
