The role of lymphadenectomy in yolk sac tumors is analyzed critically and put into perspective with the use of serum alpha-fetoprotein. A flow sheet is presented for the management of yolk sac tumors. It seems that the indication for lymphadenectomy in yolk sac tumor should be restricted to patients with persistently elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein after inguinal orchiectomy and chemotherapy. © 1984 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByPierorazio P, Cheaib J, Tema G, Patel H, Gupta M, Sharma R, Zhang A and Bass E (2020) Performance Characteristics of Clinical Staging Modalities for Early Stage Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: A Systematic ReviewJournal of Urology, VOL. 203, NO. 5, (894-901), Online publication date: 1-May-2020.Uehling D and Phillips E (2018) Residual Retroperitoneal Mass Following Chemotherapy for Infantile Yolk Sac TumorJournal of Urology, VOL. 152, NO. 1, (185-186), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1994.Mostofi F (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 5, (957-957), Online publication date: 1-May-1987.Griffin G, Raney R, Snyder H, Duckett J and D’angio G (2018) Yolk Sac Carcinoma of the Testis in ChildrenJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 5, (954-957), Online publication date: 1-May-1987.
