Yolk sac tumor of the testis is rare in adults. Its diagnosis is histological, reproducing an extra-embryonic structure (endodermal sinus tissue). It can be present alone or associated with another component, thus forming a mixed germ cell tumor. Treatment involves orchiectomy and chemotherapy in extratesticular stages. Lymph node dissection is indicated if residual masses persist. These tumors are characterized by a poor prognosis at an advanced metastatic stage. However, we report the clinical case of a 69-year-old man who presented with pulmonary metastases from a mixed germ cell tumor of the testis with a predominant Yolk Sac Tumor component, treated by orchiectomy, chemotherapy, and lymph node dissection.
