Abstract
Yolk sac tumor, also known as endodermal sinus tumor, is a malignant
germ cell tumor that usually affects children aged >3
years. It is commonly observed in the gonadal sites (testis or ovary)
but is extremely rare in the mandibular regions. This study describes
the anesthesia process for spontaneous ventilation bronchoscope
intubation in the rare case of a 7-year-old child with extragonadal
primary yolk sac tumor of the face, refractory to radiotherapy and
chemotherapy.
